Answer 1

Are you still having this problem? When I created a new skill using your code and interaction model, "get me" successfully triggered the UserIntentHandlers. What intent is getting triggered?
In the Alexa Developer Console, in the "Build" tab for your skill, click "Intents" in the side menu. You'll see an "Evaluate Model" button near the top right. Click it and choose "Utterance Profiler". You can see what intent gets triggered when you say "get me".
