I've gone through a fair portion of this game and I'm curious, why are Charlotte and Emma both referred to as Miss Lloyd, it's usually customary to call the older one (if unmarried) Miss and the younger one Ms I may make the change in my version of the game because to me it makes more sense than calling both 'miss'. Not suggesting this be changed globally though, just pointing out my thoughts about this one thing I spotted.
I know this is an old post and this may have been stated already but:

Miss refers to anyone who hasn't been married.
Mrs is a married woman.
Ms is a woman who was married and is no longer.

So Charlotte should be Ms and Emma is most definitely a Miss, not the other way around.

Close

Old fashioned:
Miss refers to anyone who hasn't been married.
Mrs is a married woman.


Now:
Ms. The female equivalent of Mr. where marriage is not a defining characteristic

Interesting idea, though personally (but notice I am not from, or living, in USA), even in professional environment, I stick to the language rule, wich was more simply that Ms. is the abbreviation for Miss, and Mr. is the abbreviation of Mister, and the difference between Miss and Mrs is almost the one you indicated.
I say "almost", because in certain environment/context, I know Mrs would be used as a form of "age respect" towards older women, independently from whether married or not, though depending also on their preference.
Though I am not surprised it went the way of the fraulein :) - I don't really speak German, but in German language "fraulein" was for unmarried or young, "frau" was for married or older, I have been told nowadays they are all "frau" because fraulein is considered "sexist".

Just gonna say it. You do realise that naive and dumb as a rock is just two different things right? And now I'm asking the guys who played the game. How would you describe Emma? She is 18 for fuck sake
