Where do you get a 25 year old american who is fluent in 3 Asian languages? Raised in a camp for spies? If so she's probably running him to her own ends. Or this is fully made up.
Nobody in a situation like this would assume they are in a privacy bubble just because they switch to their own language.
I know people who can carry their weight in 3 languages more than easily. It's not common, but multilingualism isn't exactly unheard of outside of the Anglosphere.
The fact of the assistant being american is what makes it impossible to believe.
When they have extremely ambitious parents trying to mold them into an internationally-focused climber.
