I agree that "playing together" is probably a bit of a stretch for a 12 year old and 19 year old -- but a 19 year old could easily take on the role of adoptive 'big brother'. It's not exactly a peer relationship, but it is a friendly relationship that's devoid of the kind of strict hierarchy of a parent-child bond.

As to May and Alora -- I don't know; a 27 year old woman might quite like doing some 'baby-sitting' for a 7 year old girl.

Just my two cents' worth.
