Nikita, a 13-year-old girl from Uttar Pradesh's Basti, has shown incredible presence of mind by saving herself and her 15-month-old niece from a monkey attack using Amazon's virtual voice assistant, Alexa. Yes! You read that right.
The incident took place inside Nikita's house, when she was playing with her niece, Vamika, while their other family members were in separate rooms.
Suddenly, a group of five to six monkeys entered the house and began creating chaos in the kitchen, throwing utensils and food items around. The girls panicked and got scared as one of the monkeys approached them several times.
At this critical moment, Nikita spotted the Alexa device on the fridge and commanded it to play a dog's barking sound. Upon receiving the voice command, Alexa produced loud barking sounds, scaring the monkeys away through the balcony towards the terrace.
Reacting to the situation, Nikita's mother Shipra Ojha expressed her gratitude for her daughter's swift action, stating that it saved both girls from potential harm.
Pankaj Ojha, the family head, praised Nikita's quick thinking and commended her clever use of technology to ensure their safety.
