Who is Yanky Shapiro in Unorthodox?

Yanky Shapiro (The husband sent to bring her home) is a character in Unorthodox, part of Williamsburg. Yanky Shapiro married Esty as instructed, reported the marriage's intimacies to his mother as instructed, and flies to Berlin to retrieve his wife — as instructed. The series' fairness is its power: Yanky is no villain, just a boy raised inside a system that never taught him to see his wife as separate weather. His Berlin education — the haircut, the proposal redo, the dawning understanding of what he was complicit in — arrives sincerely and exactly one decision too late.
