Alexa Stories

At Christmas I bought an Echo dot. It has stopped offering me stories.
When I say"Alexa, tell me a story" it used to say "I can tell you a story or you can hear a free short story from Audible. You can say your story or Audible story".
It doesn't say that anymore and just goes into Audible.
Because I've said Audible story 3 times in a row it no longer gives me the option to hear the Alexa stories.
Can you tell me the command to get the choice back please.
Thank you.

    Long shot - you you need to (re)enable the Story Time skill?

  • Thank you for the long shot Jenni, I've just tried that and it isn't it.
    I also tried a device reset (as advised by Amazon customer services) and that didn't help either.

    I'm wondering if anybody is willing to try asking Alexa to "tell me a story" and after 3 times choosing a free short stroy from Audible, listen to what it says about reinstating the choice.
