Andrew is a Tanzanian-American (his parents lived in Tanzania, but immigrated to the United States just before he was born), born about 4 months before James was born in 1992. James and Andrew first met in the first grade, and the two have remained close friends since, having a sort of George & Harold dynamic with each other (ie: if one of them hasn't pissed themselves laughing at each other's jokes, then it wasn't a productive hangout). Andrew is more confident than James, and claims himself as a "ladies man," even if he doesn't really know how to flirt well with women.
