## Biography

About 13 years ago, Bowie used to date Bex and got her pregnant. They somehow parted ways without Bowie finding out that Bex was having his child. Even after Andi was born, Bowie - like everyone else - assumed that Andi was Bex's little sister.

When Bex returned home for Andi's 13th birthday, she told Andi that she would tell her about her father when she's ready. However, Bex didn't know where to begin in explaining to Bowie that he has a daughter. In Dancing in the Dark, Ham revealed that Bowie knows that Andi exists. He started pushing Bex to write to him in It's Not About You. However, all Bex could write was "Hey."

### Season 1

#### Dad Influence

After getting Bex's "Hey" email, Bowie comes to visit the Macks in "She Said, She Said" without even finding what Bex wanted to say. He finds Bex trying to help Andi skip school. Coming face to face with Andi, pushes Bex to introduce both Bowie and Andi to each other as father and daughter. Bowie doesn't get mad about the news. Celia freaks out and calls Ham in for a family meeting.

During the family meeting in Dad Influence, Bowie is surprised that he has a 13-year-old daughter he didn't know about but Andi tells him that she didn't know either. Bowie just reacts by saying it's whack! While catching up with the Macks, he also reveals that he's currently standing in for one of the boys in a band called The Renaissance Boys but he's willing to miss out in order to know Andi.

Bowie comes to Jefferson Middle School and asks the Vice Principal Mrs. Dullridge to let him hangout with Andi. He shows Andi that he uses environmentally-friendly fuels like fry grease and vegetable oils to run his car aka "the grease mobile." He spends the day with Andi having fun and getting to know each other. During their time together, he starts filming Andi for his Bowie Vlogs showing his emotional side of getting to meet his daughter. When they run out of things to do, he "listens" to the universe, which leads them to a group of people playing bongos in the woods. He teaches Andi how to play bongos. After that he takes Andi to The Spoon Diner for lunch and also to reveal his car with vegetable oil. After Spoon Diner, Andi wants to go back to her friends and Jonah Beck. So, she leaves Bowie with a very emotional goodbye. Bowie watches her daughter and films her as she enters back into the school building.

Bowie can't stand living without Andi. So, he misses out on his band tour to live with the Macks for a while. Bex and Andi find him doing a headstand in Andi Shack and he reveals that he's now their guest, proving Bex and Andi's point that he's unpredictable.

#### Terms of Embarrassment

As they address the issue in Terms of Embarrassment, Celia doesn't like the idea. Andi and Bex convince Celia to let Bowie stay with them and she agrees to let him for 48 hours. Living with Bowie becomes a bit of a nightmare for Andi because he keeps trying to be involved with every aspect of her life. He even comes to cheer Jonah Beck's Space Otters Frisbee team and gets to know Andi's friends. Andi complains to Bex about lack of her privacy concerns and being embarrassed by Bowie but Bex says that's what dads do. Bowie surprises the whole family when he turns out to be a very great cook. He impresses Celia so much by cooking her mom's recipe that Celia even decides to throw away the clock timing him. She lets him stay as much as he needs.

Bowie even tries to get involved in Bex and Andi's lives. He takes Bex to the last place they saw each other before he left. He apologizes for leaving and reveals that he was always planning on coming back to her once he made it in life. They both admit that they wanted to pursue their dreams that didn't come true. Bex doesn't give him a straight answer but leaves an open possibility.

However, the happiness is short-lived when Andi catches Bowie on her laptop. She freaks out and confronts him for not respecting her privacy and asks him to leave her alone. As Bowie leaves, Bex and Andi check her laptop to see what he was doing. They are humbled to see that he was adding a video of all the pictures and video clips he had taken of Andi. His video logs show how much meeting Andi changed his life and how important she is to him. Bex and Andi are touched by Bowie's emotional vlogs so much that Andi starts looking for him to apologize. But it's too late. Bowie is long gone.

#### Best Surprise Ever

Bowie returns to town in Best Surprise Ever after being *told by the universe* to go back to Bex. He meets up with Andi and shows her all the Bex pictures he found in different places during his tours with his band. It must be the universe sending him back to Bex. He tells Andi that he has left his band and is ready to settle. Bowie visits Bex and Andi in their new apartment. They have a wonderful time and he even plays a song for Bex. Andi is excited, thinking that Bex and Bowie are back together. But then the next day, Bowie is gone. She asks Bex about it and Bex insists that she and Bowie are just friends and they're never going to be a couple. Bex tells Andi that Bowie isn't someone they can count on because he's unpredictable and can leave anytime.

Later on, Andi finds Bowie buying clothes at Nine Lives. He tells Andi that he is going to look for jobs and settle in town to prove to Bex that he can be counted on. While checking out his coat, he finds an engagement ring. Both Bowie and Andi conclude that the universe is telling Bowie to marry Bex.

During the gifts ceremony, CeCe gives Bowie a lot of money to remind him that they love him and he's part of the family. She also gives Bowie an opportunity to make any announcement.
