Yeah, in v0.8a you can play as Esther only if she's not visiting you in the morning. This restriction is lifted in v0.9 because you'll have to play Esther a lot more to progress with her and Maya.
It's also not available at some stages of the game, like when you trigger "agent James" arrival, you won't be able to switch to Esther until you see them talking, and some other important plot stages.
(btw you can abuse any green button to go back and forth into your room and have a chance for her to leave)
