  ask "Hello?", expecting: [@hello], help_dialog: invalid_hello

  #NOTE: if invalid > say "Anybody there?"

  if answer == :hello do

  end

end

 

#REMARKS / NOTES

#A. Goal: Create expectancy of a reciprocal/equal conversation from the start

#B. Improvement: Good morning / Good afternoon / Good evening > based on time>timezone>location 

#C. Improvement: Ability to wait for answer via "timeout" 

#   > Silence: reiterate "are you there" > Answer yes/hello: 'there you are! > CONTINUE

#                                        > Silence: "I made a mistake" > STOP

#REMARKS / NOTES

#A. Goal: Let the user know the storyteller is blind WHILE encouraging them not to focus on the device

#B. Goal: Normalise VUI by connecting it to a common aspect human interaction 

#C. Randomisation: not too prevalent within story, but features heavily here.
