Aston is Leah and Chantrelle's, warm, loving and hard-working older brother. Underneath his chirpy smile, he's been masking his bitter loneliness and a very tragic heartbreak. He left Jamaica for England, four years before Leah and Chantrelle and has found it a hard grind. It was difficult to make friends with the white men and pretty much all the women gave him a wide berth, apart from a young rebellious white woman – Myfanwy. Their interracial love affair came to a swift end when Myfanwy's family put a stop to it. He's never been good at saving, and always seems to be down on his luck money-wise, but with financial support from his friends, he sends money home to his sister with instructions to bring him back a good Jamaican wife. He hopes that a wife will take him from his shabby shared bedsit to a suitable home, cook him some proper Jamaican food and warm up his cold hard bed. Over the series, we see Aston and Hosanna's relationship flourish, but Aston's spiralling money woes leads to a heart wrenching revelation that threatens his journey down the aisle.
