How to plot only some cells with certain values of an array and others not with matplotlib.pyplot?

I have an image that consists of float values and another one that consist only of ones and zeros. I want to plot the second image over the first one, but I only want to plot the ones from the second image. The zeros shall not be plotted.

Ì have tried the following code and I also changed the alpha of y to 1. The problem is, that either the red windows of y are changed from x (alpha of y = 0.5), or one can not even see the plots of x (alpha of y=1).

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

x = np.random.random(size=(20,20))
y = np.random.randint(2, size=(20,20))

fig = plt.figure()
plt.imshow(x, cmap="Greys", alpha = 0.5)
plt.imshow(y, cmap="Reds", alpha = 0.5)
plt.show()

How can I only plot the ones of y?

UPDATE: Thank you for your answers! But this is not want I am looking for. I will explain again:

The result should be something like: x as background and every position, where y is 1, should be colored pure red.

Following the approach in this answer linked by @ImportanceOfBeingEarnest, the exact solution in your case would look like below. Here, np.ma.masked_where will mask your y array at places where it is 0. The resulting array will only contain 1.

EDIT: The problem of overlaying seems to stem from the choice of cmap. If you don't specify the cmap for the y, you can clearly see below that indeed only 1's are plotted and overlaid on the top of x. In order to have a discrete color (red in your case), you can create a custom color map

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
from matplotlib import colors

x = np.random.random(size=(20,20))
y = np.random.randint(2, size=(20,20))

y_new =np.ma.masked_where(y==0, y)
cmap = colors.ListedColormap(['red'])

fig = plt.figure()
plt.imshow(x, cmap="Greys", alpha = 0.5)
plt.imshow(y_new, cmap=cmap, alpha=1)
plt.show()
