My published skill can be invoked by "Alexa, open Mighty Righty," but it won't work if a user says "Alexa, ask Mighty Righty who is right, me or my husband," how to do that?

This Is the JSON file. It might be slightly different, because I tried to shorten the file as much as possible for the purpose of this question, but it doesn't matter because the main components here - are present in the current working app:

}

{

"I or him",
"I or he",

}
]
}
}
}
By the way, as you can see there are synonyms, but Alexa won't use them. Very good example:
Alexa, who is right, me or you? (works)
Alexa, who is right, you or me? (won't work)
But in the JSON it says:
"value": "me or you",
"synonyms": [
"you or me"
]
But I think for that I need to ask another question...
I went to Alexa Developer Console, Test tab, wrote:
"alexa, ask mighty righty who is right, me or my husband"
She said:
Hmm, I don't know that.
Nothing in JSON input and output windows, but I found this line in device logs:
[21:11:35:676] - Event: Text.TextMessage
I clicked there and it opened this (if this is what is needed):

After that the next log
[21:11:36:703] - Directive: SkillDebugger.CaptureDebuggingInfo
It says

}
}
and a couple of more of these logs and that's it, that's what I found.
Expected result:
- Alexa, ask Mighty Righty who is right, me or my wife?
- your wife (or another random response from Player_BIOGRAPHY "me or my wife")
Actual result:
- Alexa, open Mighty Righty.
- Hi, you can say ......
- Who is right, me or my wife?
- your wife (or another random response from Player_BIOGRAPHY "me or my wife")
As you can see, the way to get to the response is much longer (depending on Mighty Righty's welcome response)
Please, help! (I am not a coder, I just followed a tutorial)
This error message of "Hmm, I don't know that" is delivered when Alexa cannot understand the input outside of a skill, and so does not recognize what you are asking or what skill to use. So it shouldn't be an error with the slots or intents.
When Alexa captures voice input, it does not insert any punctuation, and the punctuation such as commas seem to break Alexa's ability to understand the input.
So when using the Alexa Console test chat, do not write any punctuation into the text input.
And when testing with voice, pronounce your input clearly and double check your logs to view how Alexa interpretted the voice. The more you use your skill, the better Alexa should learn to capture the key words correctly.
