Generating Fake Data in Elixir

Faker.Lorem.Paragraphs generates paragraphs with random words/sentences. I have a requirement where I am supposed to generate paragraphs with meaningful business related sentences and pass it as a value to a field in my factory. Is there any way I could achieve this in Elixir?

Do you have an example of your requirement to add to the question? I only worked with Faker before, but if you leave an example of what you are searching for perhaps someone else could help.
