Well "she" might, in the near future...
Amazon Alexa gets Samuel L Jackson and other celebrity voices
There's a lot more in the article, much of it far more pertinent to a hi-fi forum, but Alexa, answering me in the voice of Samuel J (he's a Liverpool fan too you know) with, and I really hope that this isn't "fake news," a choice between the vanilla version, and the one that swears, for £0.80? Sign me up moth*rf*cker!

You never know, Fretless, they do say that there will be other voices too. I'd rather like the idea of an Alexa with a broad West-Country accent that answered my commands with phrases like "Orroight moy lover" or "I'm not doin' that, that's darrft that is."

She'd probably say:
"I'll give you the answer drekly, my lover"
For those not familiar with Cornish drekly is a more laid back version of the spanish "manana"

Heard one of these thigys for the first time yesterday and that voice. When Aerosmith was requested to please me she put on their Spotify playlist. SQ is shite and Amazon HD will not make much difference. Will be back home with my NVA system tomorrow.
