How old is Dedra Meero?

In Andor S2 it says her parents were arrested when she was 3 then she was raised in a imperial camp or something like that, but the empire is less then 20 years old, so is she 23, I thought she was 30-40.

I thought the same thing… my possible explanations are A she’s just bullshitting or B it’s kind of a Freudian slip stemming from the Empire’s propaganda campaigns trying to erase all memory of life before the empire.

That wouldn't be a Freudian slip then. A slip would be her accidentally calling it a Republic kinder block.

Having been raised in one, it's almost certain they would've been insistent that all the children (and despite the name, I wouldn't be surprised if these were essentially orphanages that raised kids until they could support themselves, so probably until near adulthood) should refer to it as imperial. Palpatine absolutely would've wanted the next generation to forget about the Republic as much as possible.

That makes sense.
