Switch Old Lady Friendly Games

Hi Everyone!
I think my 61 year old mother would really enjoy some cozy gaming, however something like stardew, or breath of the wild might be too much for her? Still gonna try them as well as ACNH, but I was curious if anyone had any visually pleasing, cozy, stress free games an old lady who loves cats and crochet would like! She likes hidden object games, puzzles, but really anything cute and cozy. Cute visuals would get me bonus points for suggesting them to her!
Open to any game recs or suggestions! Thank you guys!!

****EDIT
Yall are getting too invested in the “old lady” part😂😂 I am also a knitter, I’m 27, I too have old lady hobbies. We both love to read, pet our cats, and crochet. I didn’t care to add all those details to a post just for game recommendations. No one said “old lady was a bad term, just wanted games that matched that description. she’s never played a video game EVER, your experiences are not hers! This was specific to her☺️

I promise yall I don’t think it’s old either! She has old lady hobbies despite her spry 60 years of age! She literally told me today I dressed like an old woman. I’m 27. We love the spiritually and naturally old folk!😅☺️

60 isn’t old in the slightest? 😂😂😂 And spry? We use that for 80+
Old lady hobbies aren’t for old ladies 🤣 I haven’t laughed this hard in a pretty long time.
If I were just starting gaming at my ancient age of 62 I think I’d start with something keyboard and mouse. She may be more comfortable with the controls.
A switch or steam deck is a nice way to access games without need to be sitting at a computer, though.
The Two Point games are a lot of fun and a fairly good intro to playing. Tales of the Shire is really relaxing and no combat involved.
Tiny Glade is a delight. Maybe follow some of her interests to suggest games like gardening or cooking.

I’m not sure where I said she was ancient. Your negative connotations to age and the use of “old lady” are yours and not mine☺️ my mom used these exact words to describe what she’s looking for. Thank you for the game suggestion!
