Jeramie Rain Dreyfuss, in Her Late 70s, Seeks Robot Companion for Chores and Affection

Summary
Jeramie Rain Dreyfuss says she wants a “love robot” in her late 70s—part companion, part helper—to snuggle, fix things, hang Christmas lights and shovel snow she can no longer manage with a bad knee.
A decade-long family joke about her asking for a robot reflects a serious wish shaped by disappointing relationships; she says human partners fought, cheated, left or put fame and careers ahead of her.
Dreyfuss, a former actress and screenwriter, says she no longer minds living alone but likes the idea of a humanoid partner who would be loyal, undemanding and physically affectionate.
The piece frames her wish against still-limited consumer robotics, asking how soon AI and humanoid machines might move beyond awkward demos and narrow tasks into practical home companionship.
