I feel like if Grams had been less strict with Aislinn when raising her, Aislinn would’ve been less reluctant to confide in her about Keenan and Donia chasing her.
I get that Grams was traumatised, grief-stricken over Moira’s death and scared that Aislinn could meet the same fate, but she really went to extremes to protect Aislinn, to the point where Aislinn can’t truly live life on her own terms. Is it any wonder that Aislinn doesn’t tell her the truth about what’s going on or what she’s doing re Keenan chasing her? Grams would’ve taken away the last bit of freedom she had, making her a prisoner in her own home, and she didn’t want that.
If Grams had been less strict and more understanding, then maybe Aislinn would’ve confided in her more easily and the plot of Wicked Lovely would’ve gone a bit differently (though probably would’ve still had the same ending).
