Josie Young

Josie is an adventurous but naïve tourist from Britain. She has a holiday romance with AJ over what she calls the best week of her life and wants him to visit her in the UK. He has no intention of doing so, saying that holidays are for amateurs. AJ calls her his "British Butterfly". She decides to stay longer, wanting to be with him. He has other ideas and at first assumes that her flight is only delayed. She is excited to see him again, not realising that his affections are temporary. In AJ's view, her return is a disaster and he is desperate to escape from her exuberance. He has been pretending to be a doctor to impress her, so fakes a message from hospital which gives him an excuse to leave.

Thinking he is sincere, she plans a weekend together at an nearby island to go snorkelling, swimming with dolphins and eating a picnic. Feeling spontaneous, she decides to following him to work as a surprise and sneaks into Dr Nair's (actually Ram's) office. She hides in his side-room and takes off her shirt to display a leopard print bra. Once Ram realises what is going on, he is horrified by his sons carelessness. Although AJ didn't meant to hurt her, he is forced to confront the disrespectful behaviours towards young women.

Later, she seeks a job at Greg's bar to earn money for a plane ticket home. As the only applicant, Greg hires her. She is working late for the annual crab race event, also attended by AJ in an awkward reunion. This time, Josie is wiser to AJs antics and calls him a fool when he complains that his father is dating again, to matchmaker Mala. As an extrovert, she gets on well with the customers. However, she is a bad server bumping into things and dropping trays of empty glasses whenever she tries to tidy up. This is possibly an indication of the perceptual disorder, dyspraxia.
