I think the related thing is hilarious too so I am also behind it 100%! How about this: ever since Yuuko's birth, a relative of hers has died each year. The rest of their clan back in Japan thinks she's bad juju so they tell her dad to move to America, where his wife's sister/cousin/whatever Sakuya is. Both her parents and Sakuya think the curse is bullshit, of course, which is why they're okay with this arrangement.
Yuuko's mom dies the year they move. Although her dad still doesn't believe in the curse, he spends less time with Yuuko to finance them both, which Yuuko could misinterpret as him hating her. Enter Sakuya who acts as a motherly figure?
