Yael Zinkow is a writer (duh) who currently lives and quarantines with her wife, Milly, and their dog, Cricket in Eagle Rick. She is originally from St. Paul, Minnesota but also spent much of her childhood in Columbus, Ohio and spent her summers at camp in Northern Wisconsin, so you could just say she is firmly midwestern. She is the daughter of two rabbis and the sibling of two more rabbis but chose to leave the family business in favor of sitting in front of a computer making up stories. She did, after all, use all of her Bat Mitzvah money to buy every single season of Friends on DVD. She is currently a co-executive producer on the show, In The Dark on the CW (shameless plug: the first season is available on Netflix, second season coming in July).
