No, although there was a wrinkle which actually made things easier.
Seems that her mother is actually a squib. They've hidden that fact, and she's been passing as a muggle for years, so that she could stay with her husband. Good thing, too; if they'd known she was a squib they would have sterilised her.
Well, she and her husband are immigrants, you see. At any rate, she's perfectly familiar with the wizarding world. Well, in Kenya, that is. And because her census records weren't here, she was able to evade the Snatchers when they came for the squibs.
It made explaining things easier. She was vastly relieved that Keisha will have a magical education. Well, aside from both of them being torn up about having her taken away, like all the rest of the parents, of course. Don't mean to diminish that. The ring and the sketch will be a big comfort.
