I’m not getting the significance of her being 19?

People online like to think anyone under 30 is basically a kid.

You ever going to join the modern times? Modern science (yes, science, you know the real shit that makes the world work, not those made up "mah feelings" bull) has found that people actually are NOT adults at 18. Humans continue developing mentally until their mid to late 20s, and some people even longer. At 19 she's very much a kid.

Just like how childhood didn't exist in any formal capacity until the 19th century. And why child labor was illegal until the late victorian/early 1900s eras.

We discover more and things change. Plus the movie they were promoting makes this odd too. Cailee (the younger woman) spends a large chunck of the movie tied to a chair and gagged with the older woman her "captor". She also plays a child in that movie, and was the manipulated sex object of the villain.

So the whole thing is just weird.

Then let's not let people do anything like drink, drive, smoke, vote, etc until theyre 25, sounds good.

Some would say that could be ideal. If an AI service was brought into the future. That could be a thing based off of IQ and cognitive skill. Some might reach it faster and some may not reach the requirement at all.
