Here’s another thought— what if the Rise Joneses are distantly related to the Hamato clan?

Future Casey is pretty darn identical to Hamato Yoshi/Lou Jitsu— same nose, same chin, same ears, same eyebrows, similar hair, etc, and it might just be the art style but his and Cassandra’s eye shapes look close to Karai’s. You could also maybe argue Cassandra has a similar hairline to Lou Jitsu

Rise Splinter broke off from his family because of how much their traditions hurt him. Odds are he isn’t the only Hamato to do so— maybe a cousin moved away to New York, married someone named Jones, and had Cassandra (or, alternatively, Cassandra was taken from her family as a baby/toddler, raised in an American clan, and was given the name Cassandra Jones to sever her ties to her birth family)

EDIT Or (and this is my new favorite theory, inspired by @webrokethe4thwall in the replies below) Splinter got around during his Lou Jitsu days and possibly fathered a few kids during that time. Since Cassandra is confirmed to be April’s age (so like 16 during seasons 1 and 2), and Splinter has been a dad to the turtles for like thirteen years, the timeline does fit for her to be biologically his (it would also be an interesting way to harken back to the 2012 series if Rise Splinter had a semi-antagonistic biological daughter alongside his adoptive/semi-cloned/However You Explain The Mutant Relation sons). Cassandra could’ve taken after her Jones parent and Lou Jitsu’s looks could’ve skipped a generation with Casey

Or maybe (since Cassandra admittedly doesn’t look that much like the Hamatos we’ve seen) Cassandra either had a kid with a Hamato cousin or used Hamato DNA to have Casey

Or Casey was adopted and his birth family was the Hamatos. (From what I’ve gleaned from listening to adopted people, it’s usually in the kid’s best interest to let them have a connection to their biological family, so they can have answers to any questions they might have). Either Cassandra called dibs on their orphaned cousin, or (if you’re a capril fan), an adoption agency figured since April herself is an honorary Hamato, they’d let her and Cassandra have first dibs on him (and Cassandra idk won the right name him after herself by winning rock-paper-scissors or something)

finished my rise jennika design, reworked my rise mona lisa design!! featuring doodles ^_^ idk how to post here whoops

I had some spare room in my sketchbook before it was full, so I figured I’d do another quick Both Cassandra And April As Future Casey’s Moms sketch

I was originally going to do a Happy Future version, but then I saw unused concept art for future April and I felt compelled to use this design. So I guess this is a quiet moment during the apocalypse (or still set in a good future and Donnie just outfitted April in some tech upgrades for when she helps the turtles on the field)

Aight but like, Good Future Where The Turtles Are Casey II’s Fun Uncles (And April Is His Other Mom AKA The ComMomder) tho??

(Lil Casey grew his hair out and wears it in a ponytail to match the Turtles’ masks)
