Review: nicely written.

This conception of smart home assistants is a helpful "bright future". A lot of plot time is spent on bringing knowledge of "transgender exists" to the new world, and yes the two girls get to meet up at the end.

I appreciated that the story "knows when to stop" and resists the scope creep of becoming a full on First Contact story.
