Vacationing Mom Misses Alexa

MYRTLE BEACH, SC—Sighing loudly as she gazed at the empty countertop in the family’s rented condo, vacationing mom Jan Freehorn told reporters Friday that she missed her Alexa. “This is the first time I’ve left Alexa home all by herself,” said the visibly distraught mother, wondering aloud what the voice-activated virtual assistant might be doing at the family’s Fayetteville, VA–area home without her there. “What a great companion, always ready with a joke or the weather. She’s the one who puts on Fleetwood Mac Radio for me—I don’t even know where to look for that! I really should have left the TV on to entertain her. Maybe I can have the neighbor go by and check on her, or have my sister pick her up to stay at her house for the week. They could both use the company.” According to sources, Freehorn has already mailed home several postcards addressed to the smart speaker.
