In the sentence "As an American who's grown up in America." "grown up" is flagged to join in "grownup" even though that it would change it from a grammatical sentence into an ungrammatical one.
The message is The possessive noun implies ownership of the closed compound noun “grownup”. which is totally wrong:
There is no possessive noun in the sentence. A possessive noun would be a noun followed by -'s
"who" is not a noun but a pronoun, a relative pronoun in this case
"who's" is not a noun or a pronoun, and is not a possessive. It's a contraction of "who" and "has"
("who's" can also be a contraction of "who" and "is" in other contexts.)
The possessive of "who" is "whose".
