Amanda is one of Emoni’s Culinary Arts classmates; they’re in the same cooking group along with Richard for much of the school year. In Spain, Amanda apprentices with a baker—meaning she starts work very early in the morning—and so she doesn’t take advantage of Spain’s low drinking age to drink at bars and clubs.
