But if the fortuneteller was male, "he" is the only correct pronoun. Which would eliminate any confusion as to who was speaking.

The fortuneteller was female, but I think I can write the fortuneteller as a male.
It wouldn’t change my story and seems to be easy to explain what happened.
What do you think?
‘Her reasoning was this: My mother saw a fortuneteller on the street. The fortuneteller said to my mother “You must have a daughter and she must be like a boy.” He told my mother that he could see a spirit of my mother’s baby who had died before birth. The baby was a boy and it must be with my mother’s daughter. That was because my mother’s daughter who meant me was like a boy.’
