Ayo Edebiri's big brown eyes and soft, mile-a-minute cadence and goofy smile are enchanting — almost like when she appears on any screen she casts a spell on the audience to watch, trancelike as she cooks an omelet with potato chips sprinkled on it, tells a joke about having a panic attack on edibles or just be her proclaimed anxiety-prone self. She dares us to fall in love with her, and we do because she is obviously so loveable. There's a reason she's showing up everywhere on our screens.
Edebiri is in the new age of upcoming breakout millennial/zoomer cusp stars like her "Bottoms" co-star and real-life best friend comedian, writer and actress Rachel Sennott. The comedy duo went to New York University at the same time and also joined the local standup comedy circuit while they lived there. They both even starred in a digital series called "Ayo and Rachel are Single," which aired on Comedy Central in 2020.
