error: Ambiguous getter for Field You can @Ignore the ones that you don't want to match

I have the following code structure:

interface Watchable {
    fun show: Show
}

@Entity
@Parcelize
data class TopRatedShow(
    @Embedded
    val show: Show,

    @PrimaryKey(autoGenerate = true)
    @ColumnInfo(name = "topRatedShowId") val id: Int = show.id
) : Parcelable, Watchable {

    override fun show(): Show {
        return show
    }
}

But my code wont compile and throw:

 error: Ambiguous getter for Field(element=show, name=show, type=com.zk.***.Show,
 affinity=null, collate=null, columnName=show, defaultValue=null, parent=null, 
 indexed=false, nonNull=true).
 All of the following match: show, getShow.
 You can @Ignore the ones that you don't want to match.

 private final com.zk.***.Show show = null;

It seems that combining @Embedded with implementing the interface is causing the issue but I don't fully understand what seems to be the problem

Since all your class, function signature, as well as val name is show, room is having problem on which one to choose.

    interface Watchable {
        fun show: Show
    }

    @Entity
    @Parcelize
    data class TopRatedShow(
        @Embedded
        val myshow: Show,
    
        @PrimaryKey(autoGenerate = true)
        @ColumnInfo(name = "topRatedShowId") val id: Int = myshow.id
    ) : Parcelable, Watchable {
    
        override fun show(): Show {
            return myshow
        }
    }

Either you can change the val name or you can tell room which one to ignore using @Ignore
