Emmy is a free spirited woman who lives in an open relationship with her boyfriend, Jake.

In the first season, Emmy started to date main male character Alex after the dating site created by Alex picked them as 100% match to each other. In the next episode, Emmy told Alex that she and Jake regularly invited other people to their bed, and proposed that Alex find a female partner to invite so they can all have a foursome. Alex went along with the plan, and two of them picked up a woman named Alyssa from the bar, and later, Emmy and Alyssa were seen kissing and undressing each other before Alex got cold feet about the arrangement and backed out.
