Do "sweet old ladies" from Ghibli still exist IRL? Boomers have Yubaba vibes

I love the theme of the sweet elderly women in Ghibli and how they promote respecting elders. It reminds me of my grandmas and the sweet old ladies I'd meet as a kid.

But I think about every boomer I know and I can't for the life of me picture them acting like the granny from Totoro, or Zeniba, etc.

I hope I'm wrong, is there still hope?
