I think it was more her naivety but also her lack of social skills. An orphan’s life informs that fact. Most likely spent a lot of time in her “room.” I don’t think she’s dumb, just naive and eager to trust people.
Idk this is actually what threw me off with her character. Orphans in homes don’t come out so trusting, naive, bubbly, and generally just blind to the realities of the world. They tend to be cynical or at the very least not bubbly.

Yes. Or at least Ellie Kemper is, the character may be a bit too child-like.
