Tonight, a story with their name in it.

No — and that's the point. You record your voice once in your phone's browser only if you join the In Your Voice tier. The live service arrives by email: your inbox is your whole account. Reply to any story to change who's in it, or to cancel renewal at the end of your billing period.

You read one short, warm passage into your phone — about two minutes, no app. We use that consented recording to build a private narration voice for your account, then use it only for the nights you choose. Plans include up to seven family voices; other audio tiers use a warm Hush Hollow house voice.

Very close — and we'd rather be plain about what "close" means. Your narration voice is created by an AI voice model from your recording: a careful, mechanical recreation, rendered for warmth, clarity, and night-after-night consistency. It is not a tape recorder playing you back, and we can't promise a 100% exact match to any person's voice — no honest company can.

What we can promise: we check every voice for quality before it ever reads a story, we keep working to improve how well each voice represents its person, and the only judges who matter are you and your child. If a family voice never feels right to you, tell us — we'll tune it, and if it still doesn't land, we'll happily move you to a house-voice plan. Your stories don't stop; you keep everything else.

Two ways. Give each child their own nightly stream (their own name, their own story), or choose one shared story where both children are the heroes together — one story, both names, a little gentler on the budget. A reply on Sally's story only ever changes Sally's; a reply on Johnny's only changes his.

The lesson repeats on a comforting weekly rhythm — Monday kindness, Friday gentle bravery — but the telling never does. Each week brings a new storytelling style, a new corner of the Hollow, a new shape, and new friends, all on independent cycles. A child can grow up inside it and effectively never meet a repeat.

Every story is authored against a fixed story-world bible and run through quality and safety passes — gentle, age-tuned, never scary, never a cliffhanger. The whole product exists because the category was failing on quality and on the bedtime ritual itself.

We're glad you asked — we'd rather be plain about it. The human work comes first: we built the Hush Hollow story-world, its cast, and its rules by hand, and wrote the craft and safety standards.

AI helps in two narrow places, inside those guardrails: it drafts the stories against the bible, and audio tiers render them in a selected narration voice. The nightly personalization — your child's name, their companion, the gentle "you" of it — is a simple, mechanical swap, not a machine inventing a fresh story from nothing each night.

Two things you can change by reply: who's in the story and whether you're subscribed. Swap your child's companion — "add our dog Biscuit," "make it her best friend Mia," "her favourite stuffy" — and the next night carries it. Done for now? Reply "cancel" to schedule cancellation at the end of the current billing period. Your purchase stays valid until then. No dashboards, no dark patterns.

What a reply can't do is rewrite that night's story. Every family gets the same gentle, age-tuned story — the same length and shape — written more than a day ahead, so we can't make one shorter or swap the setting for a single child. We read every note, though, and it shapes the stories to come. And there's no pausing: it's one story a night, and on the evenings you'd rather skip, just leave it unopened.
