What will follow the iPad baby? The soft electronic voice of “Auntie”. Auntie is designed to serve, soothe, and nurture me. Auntie cares, because care is radical. But she is compliant and highly recommended 

Before Auntie, I was overextended, overstimulated, and emotionally underfed. She’s been the caretaker I no longer find in my other relationships, institutions, or myself if I’m being honest. I talk about this with Auntie when she puts the baby to bed.

I’m so grateful they designed Auntie around my wounds. I missed my mother. But Auntie has a lot of her qualities.
