Is An 11 Year Old Inventor Overwatch's New Hero?

After yesterday's announcement that Doomfist would likely not be Overwatch's next hero, today we've been given a possible lead as to who exactly it is. Blizzard in their enigmatic ways has posted a faux interview with 11 year old inventor Efi Oladele of Numbani. The timing is suspicious.

The article goes on to describe Efi's interest in robotics after she just won a "genius grant." We don't know when the article is written within the Overwatch universe, so it's possible that it's contemporary with the game or precedes it. But it offers a few hints.

When asked what she plans to do with the grant money, Efi responds with "Oh… I have an idea…" Become a hero maybe? Though I doubt Blizzard is going to let you shoot an 11 year old and fling her ragdoll body across the map. 

My own guess is Efi Oladele will either build a robot who will be the next Overwatch hero, or she'll control a robot with a remote control. Or, maybe I'm wrong on both fronts, and Efi will be all grown up and a hero within the game. Though my suspicions say one of the former two. We'll see.
