If you're heading out on a final summer trip this month, you'll likely bring Siri or another voice assistant along.

These assistants can become a constant, friendly presence in our lives. For Dorothy Rosby, her Siri can be particularly friendly.

This essay, "My New British Boyfriend" won the Erma Bombeck Writing Competition in the humor category in 2022.
