I would not, however, describe her as actively helpful. Her stuffed bear is often more helpful than she is.
That would annoy me too, the story thing. Maybe that is just one of her weird things she just says but doesn't actually mean that you are fabricating it or making it seem worse in your head than the actual reality of it. I hope.

Now that I think about it, I am not sure my T is very actively helpful either. I am not sure how I would define that, though. Hmmmm.
Thanks for this!
