Makes very old AI characters people remember, on varg: grandmas and grandpas (80+) with a contrast between age and behaviour, real wrinkles and age spots, a loud signature outfit and one prop, as a character sheet ready for scenes and video. Use when someone asks for an AI granny or grandpa, an old lady or old man character, a babushka, nonna or abuela, an elderly influencer, or an old character for an ad. Part of varg-character-design (definition, sheet, reuse in video).
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Grandma and grandpa characters
Old characters have the strongest money evidence of any AI archetype: Granny Spills (an AI grandmother in a pink suit) reached 1M Instagram followers in about a month and 2.1M by mid-2026, with brand deals (Kurt Geiger, Papi Steak); a wordless cosy-granny-and-cat page reached 16M views. They work because of **age versus behaviour**: a granny who rides a scooter, fans cash, lifts weights, gives brutal advice. Buyers are mostly women 38–65; grannies sell books, beauty, food and home products.
Sheet, crops and video: `varg-character-design`.
## The recipe
**Definition**: exact age (80–100) + nationality or place + one behaviour that does not fit the age.
**Details** (write all that apply):
- Skin: "deeply wrinkled skin with visible pores, age spots on the cheeks and hands, visible veins on the hands", "no airbrushed skin, no professional makeup"
- Body: height in cm, build ("sturdy round build", "tiny and bird-like", "slightly stooped")
- Hair: silver, thinning, a set perm, curlers, a bun under a headscarf, a blue rinse
- Teeth: a gold tooth, a gap, dentures with a too-white smile

How to install
mdr add varghq/skills/varg-character-grandma@sha256:bdbbdd1580b99ce4The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
