Why does Plants vs Zombies exit after five seconds on my Kindle Fire 8?

Plants vs Zombies closes down after Five seconds of game selection on my Kindle Fire 8 5th genre. Can this be fixed? The game ran fine for months.

This is caused by a recent update by Kindle which added Alexa and, apparently, killed this game. It seems to be universal among Kindle Fire tablets (same issue on my Kindle 10, same issue on my son's Kindle 7, many complaints on Amazon's website). The game is no longer offered through the Amazon app store, indicating a lack of desire on their part to fix it. This is my favorite game ever so I sincerely hope EA can help us. 😓
