Hi, I have a primary school girl who wants her share of gaming on the family android tablet.

While finding open source or commercial (i.e. I'm happy to pay) games with no ads that boys like is doable, I haven't been able to find the kind of games a girl wants:

with cute graphics
where you care for dolls or pet
no ads or subscriptions, no endless DLCs.

Do you have any recommendations for android games that fit the bill?

Edit: I should have been more clear: I literally typed the description she gave me of the game she wants.

I don't like gender stereotypes and I am not pushing her towards anything. I'd be perfectly happy for her to play any game she likes, as long as it has no adds or micro transactions.

She can play with puzzles, RPGs, tower defense, sims... She wants cute dolls, and I am looking for a game with cute dolls that does not suck.

Stardew Valley

I was so convinced Stardew Valley had ads and micro transactions I had to look it up, but no ads no MT.

Everything I found was positive, it may be the last bastion of cute and positive gaming.

Also some major world expansions for free over the years.

Ginger Island is the most recent one, and I believe there is another one on the way as CA switches between Stardew and the unreleased chocolate game.
