Ash (アーシュ, Aashu) is one of the six bachelors in Harvest Moon: The Tale of Two Towns.
Ash is the main player's farming rival, and is native to Bluebell Village. He works hard at Jessica's Livestock with his mother Jessica. He does not work directly behind the counter, but he works hard in the barn tending to the animals. He spends most of his time behind the animal shop, but goes to Bluebell Village on Wednesdays. He is a hard worker, and is very protective of his little sister Cheryl.
He is somewhat easy to befriend, because he loves all sorts of animal products. He also likes insects, which can be caught for free around the villages.

Time: Wednesday or Saturday, 11:00am to 4:00pm
Weather: Sunny or Snowy
Date Location: Grady's Shop
Requirements: Ash at a Blue Flower or higher, Cheryl at 1 flower (2000FP) or higher
The two of you are watching the horses. Ash tells you that recently they had a new sheep arrive on their farm. Although it seems to escape as soon as you take your eyes off of it. It is just a baby though, so Ash guesses that it misses its parents. The sheep seems so sad... Just then the two of you notice a sheep wandering by. It escaped again!
Option 1- Force the sheep back to the barn (-3000FP)
You try to push the sheep back but it runs towards Ash, who orders the sheep to return to the barn. After some coaxing from you, the sheep does head back to the barn. Ash asks what you said to the sheep to make it change its mind. He's never seen a sheep persuaded like that before, although watching you first trying to force the sheep back to the barn wasn't something he wanted to see. Ash thanks you for helping to return the sheep to the barn.
Option 2- Persuade it (+3000FP)
You walk over and talk to the sheep. Eventually the sheep happily walks back to the barn. Ash is impressed and has never seen a sheep persuaded like that before. You really are an interesting person! Ash thanks you for helping return the sheep to the barn. ...................................................................................................................................................................
Green Flower Event
Time: Tuesday or Saturday, 11:00am to 4:00pm
Weather: Sunny or Snowy
Date Location: Howard's Café
Requirements: Ash at a Green Flower or higher, Cheryl at 1 Flower (5000FP) or higher
The two of you are talking by Howard's Café. Ash asks if you remember the sheep you helped him out with the other day. Since you talked to it, the sheep hasn't tried to leave anymore. He invites you to visit the barn where the sheep is. Inside the barn, the sheep seems to be very attached to you. A cow walks up to you, Ash, and the sheep but the sheep is scared of it!
Option 1- Protect it (-3000FP)
You scare away the cow and it runs out of the barn. The sheep loves the assistance you gave it, but Ash isn't as thrilled about it. He wants the sheep to learn how to make friends; for a moment, he thought it might happen. It wasn't necessary to help the sheep. Sometimes, it would of been best to just sit back and watch the sheep. Ash apologizes for his lecture, but thanks you for coming to visit the sheep.
Option- Just watch (+3000FP)
The cow continues to be friendly, and eventually the sheep realizes that the cow isn't going to hurt it. The two animals walk out towards the pasture together. Ash is glad to see that the sheep has made a friend. He thought you might step in and try to help the sheep, but there wasn't anything to worry about. Ash wants to thank you again for helping his sheep, and now it has a friend! If it wasn't for you, the sheep would have been very lonely. If you ever need anything, please let him know. Oh, look at the time! It seems like time flies when Ash is with you. (You return to your farmhouse after the event is finished.)
