Maybe The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas, by Ursala McGuin?
Schlage makes a keyless entry lock that isn't strictly "smart" (no wifi or Bluetooth) but is pretty well made and as secure as any common deadbolt lock.

As others have said, I'd stay away from any kind of fully remote lock.

What's wicked about her? Sounds like a pretty good offer, either way.

I don't know what your local market is like, but in most places a seller won't entertain that much price reduction.
Storm windows are a thing in four season climates, basically just another pane of glass over the existing window in winter. I have known low income people to just staple clear plastic over the frame for the same effect. You might give it a try. Ugly, but better than boarding them up.
Cool. I always wanted a My Little Pony AR.
