My N key suddenly stopped working

I have the latest MacBook Air M1 chip 13-inch, 2020, and the letter N suddenly stopped working on my keyboard. I take care of this computer as my own child, so no, I've not spilled anything on it or hit it somehow, and I always keep it super clean and polished. So what's wrong with it? May it be a software issue? It just started happening one day and never came back to normal ever since.

I would appreciate your suggestions on this matter!

Thank you!

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.5

How are you keeping it "super clean"? If you're using a wet cloth with anything other than plain water, you may have gotten something inside the Mac or under the key itself. A very slightly water dampened soft cloth (wet and wrung out completely) rubbed lightly is all you need. Sometimes canned air will work, but that can blow debris under the keys.
