They are triplets so all 3 are the same age. In any case, let's say that Allie has some kind of learning problem and that's it lol.

Yes. We know that's extremely biologically unlikely, though. I've never accepted it as canon, even though it's an essential part of my playthrough, but it's just not possible.

"unlikely" and "not possible" do not have the same meaning

Fine. An incredibly unlikely confluence of genetic mutations could've produced those three girls as triplets. The chance is as unlikely as our universe being replaced by entirely by shrimp, but ok.

A tall, slender, freckled redhead. A short, slightly curvy blonde. A voluptuous brunette. Go back and review your Mendel homework. All those quadrants.
It's not possible. Well...unless Gracie (was that her name?) was inseminated by three different men the night she conceived, which I have to think that most players wouldn't like.
And so, they can't possibly be triplets. The game asks us to pretend they are, and so that's fine. I'll pretend. But they're not.

That's assuming every hair colour is following its typical dominant/recessive trait. That's the case for the vast majority of people but not all, there's a lot we don't understand about the MC1R gene and how it expresses.

a link that goes into it a bit but this is the most relevant part."Beaumont et al. (2007) found that only 74% of individuals who were homozygous for tryptophan at position 160 have red hair, while 4% of individuals who were heterozygous for this amino acid had red hair. Box et al. (1997) found five pairs of dizygotic twins which had identical genotypes for the MC1R gene, yet one twin had red hair and the other didn't. Sulem et al. (2007) used the variation at the MC1R gene to try to predict hair color, and about a third of the individuals who were predicted to have red hair actually had blond or brown hair."
So MC could have blonde and dark hair genes, Gracie could have dark and red for example. That'd mean Olivia could have a heterozygous red hair expression, Allison could have blonde/red genes, and Maddy could have either dark/dark, dark/blonde, or red/dark.

It doesn't seem like this game is for you, the main kink is the age play (I think the triplets are 15 or 16 canonically, and some other girls are even younger). You say you can pretend not but at the same time you wrote a lot about what bothers you.

I don't think you know what fraternal twins (or triplets) are... I agree it's unlikely, since triplets are unlikely, but far from unrealistic.
EDIT: Ah, I see your issue is you don't think both parents could express three different hair colors in their offspring. Well as someone else pointed out, it is possible. This whole situation is incredibly unlikely, but it is possible.

Em just so you know, there are cases of fraternal twins in which one is black and the other one is white.

Compared to that, the triplets are all white, with freckles. True, different hair and eyes, but is that really that uncommon? fraternal twins are just like regular siblings, and pretty much all of us have seen things like that.
So.. what is that is surprising here again?

Low probability does not mean impossibility. The fact is, low probability events happen a lot more frequently than the name implies, but they are different, unrelated events that don't recur.
Examples:
Being killed in a plane crash - 1 in 11 million
Winning the lottery (in general) - 1 in 292.2 million
Dying in a tornado - 1 in 13 million
By comparison, simply having triplets is only 1 in 10,000. Having triples with different hair colors likely doesn't approach the other 3 and yet all of those still happen.
