the ex is basically the first girl he dated after his divorce and because he wasn't ready it turned into a clusterfuck mostly because he was an asshole and wasn't ready which i will let you know if the above doesn't work out and for the owner, he's part of the cafe but i figure there are like 3-4 owners with varying degrees of involvement from the ones who are basicslly managers and are there super often, others who mostly just give their cash or business expertise, etc. andrew falls somewhere in the middle because he's an investor and it's not his main source of income and he has another 9-5 BUT he does like to pop in every now and then, especially during mic nights and things like that to see how things are going and to hang out
