My grandma usually puts her late tomato harvest in a brown bag which she stores in a warm place so the tomatoes ripen with time (that usually takes around 2 weeks)

We're ripening ours right now. I'm switch from the bowl to a bag

throw a ripe banana in with it to turbo-charge the ripening with some ethylene gas.

I've had middling success with that. My current batch went from not quite ripe to rotting.

Risky move. Last time I did that they all went over ripe fast
