She said, “The ad reflects our goal to build products that help people in their daily lives, in both big and small ways. Sometimes that’s finding a location, sometimes it’s playing a favorite movie, and sometimes it’s using the Google Assistant to remember meaningful details.”

The ad is also a nod to Google’s very first Super Bowl ad, which aired 10 years ago. That particular ad was called “Parisian Love,” and Lorraine explained the similarities between the two ads.

She said, “‘Loretta’ has a few other things in common with our ‘Parisian Love’ commercial from 10 years ago. Both are simple love stories told through the lens of our products. Both were inspired by real people—in fact, the voice you hear throughout ‘Loretta’ is the grandfather of a Googler, whose story we drew from to create the ad. At 85, to an audience of millions, he’ll be making his film debut. We couldn’t be happier for him.”

In conclusion, be sure to watch for this heartwarming ad during the Super Bowl commercials. If you can’t wait, watch it below:
