Michael is Astrid’s husband; they have a three-year-old son, Cassian. An extremely handsome former ballistics specialist with an advanced degree and a growing tech startup, Michael is still not seen as good enough for Astrid. Michael is proud (he insisted on buying an apartment he could afford rather than letting Harry build them a house) and resents this treatment, to the point that he fabricates an affair so Astrid has an excuse to leave him and can save face with her family. When he finally comes clean, he insists that their relationship has never worked and he has no interest in trying to make it work.
