I know, I took it as an opportunity to voice my concerns about her further development.My comment was just some light-hearted humour.
What I'll say about this sort of character is that it's great if developers can avoid cliches or stereotypes on either extreme end. Yes,"another generic soulless" woman has been overdone, but I also find the idea of an almost angelic level of goodness in a character to be an absolute bore. I'm definitely in favour of her being hesitant about the relationship because of the social norms and ethical boundaries that she'd break in accepting the MC's advancements. But having the MC doing the chasing with little-to-no flirting from Ms Hill wouldn't make much sense, in my view. There's a nuanced way of going about this, of setting up this relationship with clever subtleties that makes it stand out. Reacting positively to his teasing through low-key body language, escalating the tension through "mistakes", and not only accepting but taking pleasure in flirtatious terms like "mommy", are all very real-world behaviours that can advance this type of relationship.
This might be an unpopular opinion but I believe avoiding cliches like you said, giving sex the backseat for a bit, and focusing more on genuine human connection, will help make her stand out more and make it more satisfying in the end.
But ultimately, this only my opinion. The developers can do whatever they want with their game.
