When does a friend become family?
Jan 21, 2026 Season 5 Episode 5

Amrita and Andrew never considered dating, but they did choose to build a life and a family together. They met as coworkers and remained friends until one night, over a casual beer, Andrew floated the idea of having kids together. Amrita surprised even herself by saying yes. In this episode, these ‘platonic soulmates’ talk about what it’s like to live together, co-parent their son Aadi, and run a business, all while keeping their relationship platonic.

You can learn more about Amrita and Andrew by watching their viral video and subscribing to their free Substack Emergency Contacts, about the power of intimate friendship, and reflections on partnership, family, love, and parenting.

Everyone has a story worth sharing.
