Cassandra 'Andi' Brand

blunt detached skeptical confrontational observant
Cassandra 'Andi' Brand co-founded the disruptive tech company Alpha with Miles Bron, only to be systematically erased from its history and left financially ruined after he ousted her. She infiltrates Miles' private island retreat as an outsider, dismantling the pretensions of his sycophantic inner circle—Lionel, Claire, Birdie, and Duke—with her signature icy detachment and razor-sharp candor. A defiant and perceptive truth-seeker, Andi thrives on exposing elite hypocrisy and aligns tentatively with skeptics like detective Benoit Blanc. Her unyielding quest for accountability stems from the betrayal that destroyed her career, positioning her as the group's fractured conscience.
