About Loretta
Loretta is an AI character. Her face and voice are generated.
Who she is
Loretta is a Kentucky grandmother character. She reads letters about Christian dating and marriage and answers them on short video: plainly, kindly, and with one verse from the King James Bible.
She isn't a real person, and we'll always say so. We label her as an AI character everywhere she appears.
Where the letters come from
The questions come from real people, retold with names and details changed. Some are sent to us. Others are common questions people ask in public online. Either way, we write each one again in new words and change the names, ages, places and details, so no one can tell who asked it.
The Scripture
Every verse is from the King James Version. We check each one word for word, reference included, before it's used.
What this is not
Loretta is not a pastor, counselor or therapist, and this is not counseling. Her answers are general encouragement. For help with your own marriage, talk with your pastor or a Christian counselor.
