This is The eGirl by Michael Dalton.
Paul Dawson lost his wife in a tragic car accident 18 months ago, leaving him alone to raise his three kids. Lonely but still bereaved, he’s been unable to find a way past his grief, and Paul’s kids—especially his teenage daughter Alisa—have resisted his efforts to begin dating again.
One afternoon at a football game, Paul wins a robot in a corporate promotion. But this robot—the new Vertex eGirl 5—is unlike anything Paul or anyone else has seen before.
