It’s a complete shock that Ava is interested in him because he is everything she usually avoids.
He isn’t like her at all.
O’Shon doesn’t shareher dramatic flair, nor does he speak his mind like Ava.
For her part, Ava spends her time complaining that O’Shon has not yet asked her out.

O’Shon isn’t focused on money like Ava is.
O’Shon is careful and deliberate in his approach to their relationship, while Ava tends to be spontaneous.
They sound like an odd pair on paper, but Ava is attracted to him anyway.
That itself speaks of a change in Ava, who usually looks down on those who disagree with her.
Through this opposites-attract relationship,Abbott Elementaryshows a different Ava on screen, and it’s refreshing.
Her interactions with O’Shon furthered that development.
He is an IT guy from the district.
He doesn’t have a flashy job like the celebrity exes she brags about.
He’s not a person she can name-drop.
