At the question, Alessa freezes. There aren't many people that Alessa would like to see come here. She doesn't want her mom here, nor her adoptive 'father', nor does she want that horrible doctor here either.
Alessa has been one of those that has appeared to someone; Heather, but she doesn't know what their relationship is. Alessa created the other one, but there's no way that they could be considered a mother and daughter. It's more like their twins, separated by a generation.
