Why won't Minnie Mouse announce the time on my Apple Watch Series 9?

I have an Apple Watch 9. I use to be able to tap the watch and Minnie would announce the time. I deleted her and loaded Mickey and he announces the time when the watch is tapped. I reloaded Minnie and she still does not announce the time when tapped. Help!

The first (and simplest) thing to try if something isn’t working right is to restart your Apple Watch and its paired iPhone. If necessary (device not responding), try a forced restart. Both methods can be found here:

If that doesn't help, the next steps would be to unpair and pair your watch again and restore from the backup just created. This should result in no loss of data. It deletes all temp and corrupted files and re-indexes the file system.
