In "On Monday of Last Week," Josh is Neil and Tracy's seven-year-old biracial son. He's precocious and academically advanced for his age. Though he obviously adores Tracy when he sees her, he is fully aware that he should never bother his mother while she's working. Similarly, while he loves both his parents, his bond with his nanny Kamara is especially strong—he makes her a Shabbat card that is supposed to be for family only.
