| We had a niece stay with us for two summers. Did not charge anything. Were happy to host. She helped us with some babysitting here and there and with some chores. It was nice to have her. She was grateful and will hopefully pay it forward one day |

| OP, instead of looking at this as an imposition, think of it as a way of bonding with your niece. As an Aspie 20-year old, she will need some help, but it would be a great way to show your love to your brother and your niece - if you're up for it. If not, then just say no. Brother should be offering money for food, transportation, etc. If you are financially strapped, go ahead and accept. If not, be generous and decline. They will probably send you a gift or show some other form of appreciation. (I hope.) Again, it's only 2 months and while she may need some help, it's a far cry from having a small child to oversee. |
