Transcript
This video portrays a man, Joe, walking through his house to his kitchen to look out this window.

Words appear on the screen: “Joe’s Story”

Soft acoustic guitar music starts playing.

Joe: My name is Joe Sullivan, I'm the father of three daughters and a son. One son has special needs.

Photos of his family are shown in picture frames found around the house. He sits at his kitchen island and looks out through the window.

Joe: “I have been caring for my son for 32 years. He now is residing in a facility about 10 minutes away from me, and we get to see each other often if not in person we’re visiting on the Amazon Echo Show”.

Joe uses Drop In with his son through the Amazon Echo Show.

Joe: “Just for me to simply see him on a nightly basis; knowing that he's in good spirits... that gives me peace of mind.”

Joe walks out of his front door to his porch and gives his son, sitting on a wheelchair, a kiss on the side of his head.

Joe: “Even though he's non-verbal, he does communicate. You just have to learn how to listen differently and there are few people that can do that with him, and he and I are one.”

Joe and his son laugh together. He proceeds to blow bubbles for his son.

Joe holds his son’s hand.

Joe: “He now embraces the Echo Show, and The Echo Show is just giving me the capability of continuing and, you know, maintaining the relationship that I want to have with my son.”

Joe looks at his son and kisses him on his forehead.

A grid of photos of Alexa customers shows up on screen, along with words that say: “Share Your Story.”

Words appear on the screen: “AlexaStories@Amazon.com.”

The photo grid and titles cross fades into an Alexa Logo.

The music fades. The video ends.
