Current Fire Tablets will run Alexa lets chat, so will many older models.
.
To do so on a fire tablet:
-you must have or create an Amazon account on the tablet
-Go into settings
-Choose Alexa
-on the Alexa page set Alexa to the on position
Fire Tablets are a lot easier for a senior to set up then an Echo. The 7 inch fire tablet is available for $49 from Amazon

"About 35 percent of British adults sleep with teddy bears, according to a Travelodge survey.
Respondents said they snuggled with the toys for comfort and a better night’s sleep, and one expert said the reasoning makes perfect sense.
“Cuddling a teddy bear is an important part of our national psyche as it evokes a sense of peace, security and comfort,” Psychologist Corrine Sweet said in a Travelodge press release obtained by Yahoo! Finance". link
I suspect any soft cuddly object will work well too.

The Dinner Party
The Dinner Party is a platform for grieving 20- and 30-somethings to find peer community and build lasting relationships. We screen, train and support a growing network of peer hosts, and connect them to 12-15 people nearby, who share a similar age and loss experience. What started as an experiment on a back deck in Los Angeles, has served well over 10,000 grieving young people to date. Today, 4,000+ active members gather bimonthly at 400+ local tables in over 100 cities and towns worldwide. We’ve been featured on NPR’s Morning Edition, On Being with Krista Tippet, CNN, NYT, O Magazine, BuzzFeed, and dozens of other publications, and as a case study in various books, including The Upside of Stress, The New Better Off, and The Power of Meaning https://www.thedinnerparty.org/
