Android games for girls? (lemm.ee)

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.

I've found that some games can still play after you've cut them off from the internet (in app settings from the phones general settings) but will no longer be able to display ads (and I assume microtransactions also won't work then). Which might make some of the options you've currently ruled out work for you?
