The incident occurred within Nikita's residence while she was playing with her niece, Vamika, as other family members were in different rooms.
Out of nowhere, a group of five to six monkeys invaded the house, causing mayhem in the kitchen by tossing utensils and food items. Fearing for their safety, the girls became frightened, especially when one of the monkeys kept coming close to them. In a moment of quick thinking, Nikita noticed the Alexa device on the fridge and instructed it to play the sound of a barking dog. Responding to her command, Alexa emitted loud barking noises, which effectively frightened the monkeys away.
Nikita's narrative underscores the potency of swift thinking and ingenuity when confronted with unforeseen circumstances.
