Come on you paranoid people. Let's get passive/aggressive.

1) change the key phrase away from Alexa, to prevent tv/radio from accidentally activating her

2). Now the fun part. Frequently, when you are not going to be near/using the device, leave a radio on, so she can hear it, tuned to the Spanish radio station or to Rush Limbaugh, or the farm report. Give her plenty of "white noise" data to parse through.

If she is near you computer speakers, a nice audio book is just the ticket. You know, the good subjects like economics 101 or learn to speak Portuguese. spectroscopy Is a fun subject, maybe Alexa is into stars and what they are made of.
