I love Aubrey Plaza

AVC: April has changed the most since the beginning of the show, and a lot of that feels like it came from her doing more scenes with Andy. How did you guys decide on that pairing?

MS: We wrote the part for Aubrey. Allison Jones, who is one of the people who cast the show, called me and said, “I just met the weirdest girl I’ve ever met in my life. You have to meet her and put her on your show.” Aubrey came over to my office and made me feel really uncomfortable for like an hour, and immediately I wanted to put her in the show.
