Emily Cooper

> "*But I do understand what it means to be on the outside looking in. I have a perspective that you will never understand, because no, I'm not sophisticated or French, and I don't know how to look like you. That slouchy, sexy, je ne sais quoi thing. But I am the customer that wants it. And you're not because… you already got it and you don’t even know how you did it.*"

**Emily Cooper** is an ambitious marketing executive from Chicago in her 20s, who moved to Paris for her new job after her company, Gilbert Group, bought a French marketing company. Bidding farewell to Chicago, Emily moves to Paris for a dream opportunity and makes waves with her bold fashion and bubbly personality. She navigates personal and professional growth, embraces life as an outsider and finds her way into a series of flings and friendships.

## Biography

Emily grew up in a small suburban town where her mother is a math teacher and her father is a dog breeder. She graduated from college with a dual master's degree in communications and marketing. After graduation, she was promptly hired at Gilbert Group where she works under Madeline Wheeler as a marketing representative. Her cases were primarily pharmaceutical and geriatric care facilities, though she exceeded marvelously at each of her professional endeavors. In her personal life, Emily began a serious relationship with Doug, a Chicago native.

### Season 1

Emily's employer, Gilbert Group, acquired the French marketing firm Savoir, as part of an expansion of their international portfolio. Madeline was slated to spend a year at Savoir's Paris location to help ease the merging of the companies. However, when Madeline unexpectedly became pregnant, she sent Emily to Paris in her place. Emily's job at Savior is to advise them on social media strategy from an American perspective for their clients. She jets off to Paris for a year with dreams of what the city will be like. She has difficulty adjusting to the French way, from the way they count their floors to the language she hadn't bothered to learn. While she hopes her work life will be easier, Emily soon feels the cold shoulder from those at the company, including her new boss, Sylvie Grateau.

Emily's American point of view is quickly rejected as she struggles to earn the respect of her colleagues, Luc, Julien, and Sylvie, while doing her job. Things slowly get easier when she befriends Mindy Chen, a larger than life woman whose experience in America gives her a perspective into Emily's struggling life, and Gabriel, her attractive downstairs neighbor who happens to be a chef. When she breaks up with her Chicago boyfriend Doug, Emily grows closer to Gabriel. As her social life becomes easier, her work life spiral as Emily continues to step on Sylvie's toes - especially when Antoine Lambert takes a liking to Emily, despite being married and having Sylvie as his mistress. Emily is able to smooth things over with the feuding company leaders by stepping things up professionally, which gains her a sliver of respect from Sylvie. Now feeling empowered, Emily decides to be bold in her personal life by kissing Gabriel.

Immediately after, she learns that the sweet young woman Emily met earlier that week, Camille, is Gabriel's girlfriend. After some of the awkwardness regarding the situation fades, Emily is able to maintain her friendship with both of them, despite Gabriel admitting that he does have feelings for her. She makes a stride in her professional life, with her Instagram account taking off enough to warrant an invitation from Durée’s influencer launch party at Hotel d’Evreux. Her Instagram account creates tension with Sylvie, who reminds Emily that their clients are *paying* them to represent their products while Emily is advertising Durée for free. Her social account is able to win Savoir a marketing partnership with Hästen’s Luxury Beds, with her modeling for the first photo-op.

She is invited to attend a meeting with haute couture designer Pierre Cadault alongside Sylvie and Julien. She ruins their first impression with her Eiffel tower bag charm, which Pierre views as *basic*. This error almost costs her a demotion at Savoir, but she is able to win Pierre back with her blunt honesty, knowledge of *Gossip Girl*, and sophisticated delivery of her speech to him. Emily travels to Champagne, France, to Camille's family château, where Emily convinces Camille's mother Louise to hire Savoir as the marketing firm representing her champagne company. Upon returning to Paris, Emily's connection to Pierre helps her convince Mathieu Cadault, the nephew of Pierre and his business manager, to allow Pierre to donate a dress to the American Friends of the Louvre charity auction.

When the auction goes terribly wrong following a publicity stunt by an American streetwear company, Grey Space, Emily scrambles to pick up the pieces of the fallout and save her job. Pierre goes into a spiral as people call him *old* and *outdated*, a spiral that Sylvie blames on Emily. In the meantime, Emily grows closer to Mathieu and the two have a light relationship with a few unofficial dates. Emily is surprised to learn that Gabriel is moving to Normandy to open a new restaurant and has broken up with Camille.

She manages to fix her professional life by securing Pierre's location from Grey Space and helping Pierre burst into the Fashion Week scene once again. Even Sylvie admits that she is impressed, but warns that she won't be so easy on her in the future. Upon returning home, Emily agrees to let Mindy move in with her after the latter is kicked out of her employer's house for being a singer. That evening, Emily realizes that she can't leave things with Gabriel unfinished and tells him how she feels before they kiss. They sleep together but agree that they can't be together because of Camille. They say goodbye once again, with Emily planning a trip with Mathieu. In the morning, Emily is shocked to learn that Antoine became an investor in Gabriel and Les Deux Compères, so Gabriel can stay in Paris with the restaurant he wanted. Still reeling from the news she receives a message from Camille asking to talk.

### Season 2

Emily attempts to brush her affair with Gabriel under the rug now that he's staying. Her efforts prove easier said than done when Gabriel admits his feelings for her, all while she's set to go on a romantic trip with Mathieu Cadault.

### Season 3

Emily finds it difficult to quit her job with Madeline after years of mentorship, despite her increasing loyalty to Sylvie and decision to stay in France. The pressure builds so she cuts what Mindy coins "trauma bangs". Meanwhile, Madeline tasks her with finding new French employees for Savoir, just as Doug tips her off about McDonald's needing an international marketing agency. Emily pitches it to Sylvie, Luc, and Julien, though the dinner meeting collides with Alfie's going away party for his new job in London. Luc accidentally lets Emily's double-agent routine slip to Madeline, who crashes the McDonald's dinner at the Eiffel Tower. When Madeline goes into labor, Sylvie fires Emily once again. Because the work drama keeps Emily from Alfie's going away party, he believes she's chosen work over him once again.

Madeline decides not to fire Emily after all. Savoir unexpectedly encounters Agence Grateau at a client meeting, where Madeline reminds Sylvie of her non-compete agreement. Emily focuses on making things right with Alfie, who she learns is still in Paris working as the CFO of Maison Lavaux. He feels that she left him waiting when he put himself out there, so she decides to make a grand gesture of singing in public to win him back - which works. Emily and Luc then convince Madeline to rehire Sylvie as the head of Savoir, but Sylvie refuses the offer since she has Pierre Cadault as a client. During a tribute honoring him, Pierre announces that he sold his company to JVMA, who does all their marketing in-house, despite Emily's best effort to sway the mind of its successor, Nicolas de Leon.

The building Savoir uses begins to malfunction and cause problems for Emily and Madeline, who are hemorrhaging clients. Fed up with France, Madeline announces that she and Emily are returning to America and the Gilbert Group are ceasing operations in France. Emily admits she loves Paris and isn't ready to leave, with Sylvie understanding her choice. Now unemployed, Emily becomes a full-time tourist in the City of Light, with Alfie accompanying her in most of her adventures. When Gabriel is short-staffed, Emily steps in and becomes a waitress at Chez Lavaux, unbeknownst to Camille. Emily serves Camille's parents and can't help but pitch them Kir Royales, a canned drink, as the perfect partnership for Champére. In spite of Emily's people skills, her less than fluent French causes a customer to have an allergic reaction. Gabriel fires her, but imparts that she should stop turning life into a job and start living.

Emily's pitch to Louise and Gérard proves to Sylvie that the girl is useful, so she offers Emily a job at Agence Grateau. Emily's pending work visa leaves her out of Agence Grateau's press packet entirely. Desperate to prove herself to Sylvie, Emily makes it her mission to get Sylvie on "La Liste", a special press honor for entrepreneurs. While wooing the author, Emily takes her and Sylvie to Gabriel's restaurant, where the three have a grand time. That evening, Emily, Alfie, and Mindy bump into Nicolas de Leon, who Mindy knows from boarding school. During Alfie's flat party, Emily and Alfie sneak away to the roof, where she catches Camille making out with Sofia Sideris. She confides the secret in Mindy at JVMA's sunblock promotion party and Mindy tells her to stop interfering in other people's lives. JVMA's "Soleil De Paris" promotion inspires Emily to suggest Benoît's song "Mon Soleil" to Nicolas, who decides to buy it. Even though Benoît refuses to sell, Nicolas decides to partner with Agence Grateau for the promotion. Sylvie is enraged when Emily makes the cover of La Liste and Gabriel earns a feature, but not her. However, the JVMA contract smooths things over and Sylvie glibly has Emily mail the magazine in with her work visa. Sylvie later learns she didn't make the list because it's for newcomers, but is featured in a standalone article online.

After Agence Grateau loses a venue for a McLaren event, Emily proposes using Antoine's chateau in Provence. It doubles as exposure for Antoine and saves McLaren. Alfie also attends the events as Maison Lavaux's CFO, earning them an unofficial romantic trip. Antoine hires Gabriel to serve the party, which excites Alfie who hears the news while on a double date with Camille and Gabriel. Camille decides to stay back to "work" with Sofia, which confirms Emily's suspicions about them having an affair. The trio takes the train to Provence, with Gabriel wanting to try a Michelin star restaurant once they arrive. When Alfie drops out, Emily and Gabriel go out for lunch - and everyone mistakes them for being a "beautiful couple". Gabriel bonds with the head chef who balances his personal and professional life perfectly. Once back at the work event, Emily talks to McLaren executive Tim Davies who explains luxury and exclusivity to her. She passes this onto Antoine who is dealing with a supply problem with his lavender perfume. While Antoine initially scoffs at Emily over the suggestion, he ultimately takes her advice. The next day, Alfie and offers to expense the Michelin lunch, but she lies that she doesn't have it. It secretly refers to her and Gabriel as being a lovely couple.

Camille and Sofia travel to Greece for an exhibition, and Emily feels guilty over not telling Gabriel about the affair. Mindy reminds her not to get involved as it isn't her business. Emily is paired with Gabriel during a movie outing, and the pair have fun after when they visit an eclectic art show. Luckily, business takes her mind off Gabriel, as Pierre Cadault begs Sylvie and Agence Grateau for help with his pop up store. The group tries to convince Nicolas to hire them as Pierre's agency to solve all their problems. Nicolas instead decides to fire Pierre and keep the fashion line without the man. He wants to hire Grégory Elliott Duprée, who just unsuccessfully pitched a BDSM line to Air France, to take over for Pierre as head designer. Emily tries to uninvite Pierre from the lunch, though the man is crossing the street when he's hit by a car. He survives and is admitted to an in-patient facility while JVMA secretly conspires to replace Pierre with Grégory. When Nicolas refuses to postpone Grégory's announcement, Sylvie takes a meeting with Louis de Leon, Nicolas' father and the head of JVMA. This angers Nicolas who confronts Emily after Mindy's jazz performance, causing her to leave early. She meets up with Gabriel though he's already drunk when she arrives. He believes Camille is having an affair with men in Greece because she never truly forgave him for his relationship with Emily. He fell in love with her the moment he laid eyes on her, but also loves Camille.

Nicolas intends to announce Grégory at the pop-store that evening. Pierre is emotional when Emily and Sylvie share the news, especially because "Gag-ory" is given the job. Agence Grateau decides to generate sensation around Pierre as an individual outside of the label, by successfully convince everyone that Pierre died in the hospital. Nicolas, not knowing about the salacious story, makes peace with Emily at the party. Pierre makes an entrance and steals the spotlight from Grégory and JVMA, humiliating Nicolas in front of Louis. When Emily returns to her flat, she learns Gabriel and Camille are back together and happier than ever. He also doesn't recall the drunken confessions he made the other night.

Emily surprises Alfie when he returns to Paris from London, but quickly learns he hasn't told his family about her yet. She brushes it off, but later confides in Mindy that it makes her uncomfortable. Mindy advises her to be patient with Alfie. She admits that she's upset with Emily for embarrassing Nicolas at Pierre's store opening, believing Emily chose work over her. Emily apologizes and the girls make-up, with Mindy inviting her to a celebration of her last jazz performance. Meanwhile, Gabriel tells Emily and Alfie that he plans to propose to Camille, which Alfie thinks ties in perfectly with Emily's social media campaign for a new client spearheaded by Julien. After Gabriel agrees during a late night text, the duo scout possible locations for the proposal. He admits that after Camille returned from Greece, they opened up to each other in a way they never had before. He thanks Emily for being a great friend. Camille proposes to Gabriel at Musée d’Orsay, which effects Emily more than she expected. She spins the snaffu of the couple backing out of of the proposal campaign into a romantic hot air balloon campaign, which annoys Julien.

While attending Mindy's party, Emily tries to make things right with Nicolas, who effectively kicks her out of the party by lying to Mindy that Emily is about leave. Emily tearfully leaves with Alfie, while Mindy is upset that her friend is prioritizing a work dinner over her again. Emily vents to Alfie and confesses that him not telling his family about her is important. He solemnly admits that introducing girlfriends to his family hasn't gone well before, as the relationship never works out and upsets his family. Emily admits she isn't going anywhere, which is enough to assure him she's all in. He's eager to introduce her to his mom. Emily and Alfie later participate in the hot air balloon campaign as one of the couples.

Gabriel celebrates his new majority ownership of his restaurant by renaming it L'Esprit de Gigi after his grandmother Gigi. His goal is get a Michelin star. Emily comes over to congratulate him and meets Gigi, who reminds her of her own grandmother back in Chicago. Gigi offers that Emily to think of her as her grandmother in France. The women bond, though Gigi is less than gracious to Camille. Emily wants to help Gabriel get a Michelin star, though the tasters are untraceable. Luc offers helps through his ex-partner Marianne. That night, Mindy, Alfie, Camille, and Emily attend the opening of L'Esprit de Gigi. Alfie tells Mindy about Nicolas making Emily leave her party even though she didn't want too. Mindy is upset at Nicolas for this and hugs Emily, apologizing for how her boyfriend treated her best friend, absolving her guilt over leaving early.

Julien pitches a deck to Turner & Ascot that Emily takes over. He snaps at her during the meeting for not having an off switch. She briefly and quietly apologizes to him outside the meeting. As does Sylvie, who admits to not seeing how Emily behaves until now. Emily meets with Mindy for lunch and they spot Sofia and Camille arguing. After briefly talking to the women, Mindy encourages Emily to tell Gabriel about the affair since the two are engaged now. After work, Emily and Alfie head to Provence for Camille and Gabriel's engagement party. She overhears Camille on the phone and assumes she's talking to Sofia, ultimately confronting her about the affair. Camille merely tells her that their secrets keep them close, and that the fling ended, just as Emily and Gabriel did. Mindy and Nicolas make a grand entrance on a helicopter, and he apologizes to Emily for how he acted. As the party rages on, Luc calls Emily to tell her that Gabriel is getting a Michelin star. She shares the news with Gabriel who is elated, and he kisses her hands giddily. Their moment is seen by Camille. He shares with everyone that he's getting a Michelin star and wants to get married that night.

Everyone takes a seat for the ceremony, with Gabriel happily saying the vows. Camille falters than assures him he doesn't have to do this. She knows he loves Emily and that she loves him. They've been in love since they saw each other. She tells him about the ill-fated pact the girls made. She's done pretending and leaves the chapel in a flurry of emotion, shouting at her mother that this is her life and the choice is made. Alfie asks Emily if what Camille said is true, and she can't deny it. She stops him from leaving but he's nobody's second choice. He tells her to go get her man, but she argues that he's her man. He insists he isn't and doesn't think he ever really was. After the dust settles, Emily finds Gabriel sitting alone. She thought the pact was the right thing. She's always had feelings for him and probably always will. Gabriel admits the truth of why he proposed to Camille when she returned from Greece - she's pregnant.

## Personality

Emily has a warm, friendly, caring, perky, bubbly, and open personality, which her French coworkers find typically American and are annoyed by. She is enthusiastic about what she does and enjoys her job very much. She can come across as a bit clueless. She stands up for what she believes in, such as sexism and the exploitation of women. Emily is very sociable and makes friends very easily. However, she finds it difficult to make important decisions, often weighing her options until one of them inevitably falls through. She then realizes what she truly wants and pursues it fully.

Emily's inability to quit working with Madeline, whom she stayed with out of a misguided sense of loyalty and friendship, caused her to be fired by Sylvie. She nearly lost her position with Madeline, only earning it back by refusing to leave. Emily is a fixer - when she sees an issue or potential issue she has to help fix it, regardless if her expertise applies or not. She inadvertently upset Antoine by inserting her newly gained knowledge of the business world onto him, and while it did end up working for her, she crossed a line by approaching him. She also doesn't give much concern to her co-workers feelings or the boundaries of professional conduct, as she usurps Julien and Luc's pitches even when she's not on the clients account. While she would never intentionally hurt their feelings and is eager to please a client so they can all win, she more so comes across as overindulgent and clueless of her friends feelings.
