From her struggle to pay rent to running the business of her dreams, Andrew Walker's wife, Cassandra Troy, proved she is a woman who wears many hats. She is also a mom who made a significant sacrifice to obtain her goal.
Walker has graced the small screen since 2012 when he cemented himself as a regular Hallmark movies actor and starred in fan favorites such as "The Dying for Chocolate: A Curious Caterer Mystery."
And while the Hallmark channel has become well-known for its love and feel-good stories, Walker and Troy's romance is also movie-worthy.

Although It's unclear when Walker and Troy met, it was circa 2004, and the couple has since regularly taken to social media to share their family of four and their long road to accomplishing their dreams.
Andrew Walker & Cassandra Troy Married in 2013, and It's the "Best Decision" She Ever Made
After knowing each other for eight years, Walker and Troy tied the knot in 2013, with "Revenge" actress Emily VanCamp serving as their witness. And in June 2017, Troy took to Instagram to celebrate four years of marriage.
She shared a picture of herself and her husband from their wedding day standing in front of city hall after they skipped out on a wedding ceremony and decided to elope.

Troy opted for a sleeveless, white dress that ended just above the knee over a traditional wedding gown, and Walker matched his wife's relaxed choice of attire with a blue suit and shirt with the top buttons popped open.
In the Instagram post that received over five hundred likes at the time of writing, the couple embraced as they stood in front of the gold and black door of city hall. In the caption dedicated to Walker, Troy wrote:
"(The) best decision I ever made was to marry you."
Cassandra and Andrew's First Child Was Born in 2015
On July 20, 2015, Troy shared a picture of the couple's firstborn son, West Byron Walker. The newborn was wrapped in a white blanket, and users loaded her comments section with congratulatory messages.
In the post that received almost two hundred likes at the time of publication, Troy gushed about how her life had been forever changed following the birth of her son. "There are no words for this kind of love," Troy wrote in the caption.
In 2013, Walker and Troy became parents for the second time when their son, Wolf Reinhard Walker, was born. Like with her first son, Troy posted a picture of Wolf asleep in a sky-blue onesie.
Among the red heart emoticons in her comments section were words of praise for how "beautiful" her baby boy was. Troy wrote a heartfelt caption and shared that the loving parents' hearts had expanded more than they thought possible after welcoming their second child.
In 2020, Troy shared a photo of Walker and their eldest son at the beach in a celebratory Instagram post dedicated to her husband. She said:
"Thank you for being the best and most fun partner in crime. I feel infinitely supported by you, and you'll be very missed when you're away."
They Started a Business Together in 2013 and Used Their Wedding Money to Open It
After saving for their wedding day for years, along with money loaned by friends and family, Walker and Troy chose to use their savings to open a juice business, Clover Juice. They bought a two hundred square feet shop in Los Angeles and built the shop themselves.
Their business stemmed from their shared passion for healthy eating based on nutrition and wellness, and they set out with a goal to provide high-quality juices to their community, which grew beyond their expectation.
Troy admitted that she was a woman of many trades after spending some time dabbling in fashion– which she loved. But she knew a career in the food industry that inspired people to lead healthier lives through moderation and conscious eating was her true calling.
In 2018, they rebranded their business and named it Little West. And over the years, the company grew, and soon, Walker and Troy partnered with hotel groups and high-end grocery chains. She said:
"The small business roller coaster is still a daily ride, but at least we're finding ways to enjoy it."
Now They Live in a House with Their Own Swimming Pool
In May 2022, Troy shared pictures of her husband and children in their pool to document their journey that stretched ten years.
The businesswoman, wife, and mother of two revealed that she had imagined her dream pool multiple times, but finally, it was their reality due to manifestation and hard work. She said:
"I cry daily with gratitude for how full my heart feels, realizing that this is our reality. We have believed, challenged, and stretch ourselves."
Like Bruce Willis, the couple moved into their dream home. But before that, Troy and Walker started in a two-bedroom apartment, they could barely afford for years as they poured all they could into their business.
Over the years, they became newlywed while living in their apartment, they welcomed children, kickstarted their company, mourned the loss of their first dog, and forged lifelong friendships there as well.
Troy said it was a humbling experience for her and her husband on their journey to where they are now, but it was the perfect one as it taught them they could be happy even if they lived in a box.
