Josh's Girlfriend
Known to 99% of the world's population as Bree (not to be confused with Brie, the popular French cheese), Bree is Josh's girlfriend and lucrative connection for getting amazing chocolate. As the Marketing Director at Hey Tiger, Bree is an absolute master in the realm of sales and convincing people to purchase Hey Tiger chocolate. She's also Josh's travel companion and helps keep Josh's head on top of his shoulders.
Bree is famous for asking "has anyone seen my AirPods?"

Verbatim from the transcripts — each quote links to the moment.
“Don't apologise for overthinking. Like, that's one of your strengths, and that's what makes you so good at what you do.”
“It's like it's a concoction of things, but mainly on this trip I feel like the biggest arguments have all been around me wanting to do things or whatever.”
“The world knows I fart.”
“You're having bad expectations of people.”
Is it fair to assume gig workers can simply choose a different job if unhappy?
Bree counters that it's not a simple choice for everyone — some people lack other accessible options and gig platforms like Uber may be their only practical way to earn income, so judging their 'choice' is overly simplistic.
Breana explains that she and Josh decided early in their relationship not to have children, but about two years prior she began having potential fertility issues, which suddenly forced her to reconsider whether she actually wanted to be a parent.
Bree forgot nipple covers for a backless dress at an event and used duct/gaffer tape from Josh's bag to improvise, which held all night but painfully removed skin when taken off.
Bree recalls a significant argument with Josh while walking to meet friends in Notting Hill, London, years earlier, where minor issues (possibly over directions) escalated and she walked off without her phone.

Breana works at Hey Tiger, a chocolate startup, and described 2019 as a year of professional growth, overcoming imposter syndrome, and completing an 8-week marketing course.
