Somewhat in the same vein:

In Sarah Jio's terrible Goodnight, June, the bright spot in the protagonist's childhood is her cool great-aunt, the owner of an awesome children's bookstore. Protag's ditzy, hard-partying mom is never home, leaving protag and her sister (at the ages of 8 and 4) to look after themselves until great-aunt swoops in and rescues them.

Part of the happy ending is that Protag discovers that the mom who made a cat's breakfast of bringing her up is actually her first cousin; her bio-mom is...the bookstore-owning aunt. Protag's is the product of Auntie's torrid affair with the married man who also gifted her with the bookstore. (The affair is okay because we're repeatedly told that the cheated-on wife is a terrible woman who only cares about money and status.)

Fearing that her lover's wife will try to kidnap Baby Protag, Auntie gave Protag to her niece to raise. Niece (Protag's cousin, who Protag grew up thinking was her mom) wasn't married and was all of 20 at the time. On top of that, the niece had already had to bring up her younger siblings because their mom (Auntie's older sister) died when niece was 13.

No explanation of why Auntie left a 13 year old with that responsibility--or stuck her with another baby to raise, then blamed her for making a mess of it.
