I wouldn't "talk down" to anyone, nor would I try to write a story in a style that doesn't come naturally. You might make sure that your story's description, as carried on the book's page, makes a point of giving your reasons for not "talking down" to your audience -- like you did here.
I have one story out that I describe as a "Science Fiction Bedtime Story." So far it has received one review, by someone who seemed to like the story but was disappointed there wasn't more "danger" in it. That, to me, is something that doesn't make for a good "Bedtime Story." Right now I'm considering ways to change the description to make it more clear what my story is about and my aims in writing it.
