Elderly villagers for a retirement island?

[cheezu]

Dobie/Gaston/Croque: Cranky
Naomi/Velma/Alli/Cashmere/Elise/Greta: Snooty
Chops/Beardo/Hippeux/Lionel: Smug
Billy/Cobb/Cousteau/Moose: Jock
Bubbles/Pippy/Anicotti: Normal
Bettina/Norma/Daisy/Jambette/Peaches/Skye: Peppy
Boomer/Derwin/Lucky: Lazy
Charlise/Paula: Uchi

These are my picks. Not all look super ancient I guess, but many of the designs I included look like they'd be "older" to me.
I think the most obvious choice is Dobie since he's the only official grandpa.
If Sven made a comeback to New Horizons, he'd also be a great elderly Lazy goat.

What about Jambette? I think she gives off grandma vibes. Also even though most of the normal villagers may not look elderly, I think their dialogue and way of speaking is very old-fashioned and polite, and they talk about books and tea and the like. I actually think that behind crankies, and along with snooties, they‘re one of the personalities that remind me the most of elders.

Any of the crankies, personality wise, would make for a good island because of their dialogue. They all seem to be a bit older to me.

Maybe Nan too? Since her name could be short for 'Nana'.

Pretty much all the Crankies. Hamphrey also looks like a good, older looking villager.
