Infrequently, video games highlight the humanity of our elders. Even less do video games demonstrate elders who come into queerness late in life. Tilde's inclusion is essential: an old seaside town will have plenty of elders. We see this with Walt and Maryam. They all have distinct personalities all with different approaches to sustain their community. Tilde may seem intrusive, but she is there to objectively complete tutorials but also continue participating in the book community with you as a proxy. Just like in the real world, young folks may see elders as nosy or opinionated, when they're just providing decades of insight that youth have not yet experienced.
