Joey Santiago
Candace is one of Gregory’s best friends; she’s also Bryson’s cousin. She helps Gregory prepare to ask Sandra for her phone number, and she’s an essential part of this endeavor because she used to be close friends with Sandra and is the only one of Gregory’s friends who knows where Sandra lives. Candace introduces Gregory to the importance of moisturizing and assures him that if he takes care of himself, Sandra will be impressed.

And on this, of all days, that smell just wasn’t going to cut it. So in an act of service and sheer desperation, Remar Vaughn, Joey Santiago, and Candace Greene—Gregory’s crew—decided to help him out. Because today was a day of romance.
