Made a mistake with MC's father - again, I only read up to chapter 60ish? while skipping through half of it & the whole WN finishes at 100.

It's the maid Fuki-san!!! (No seriously).
I skipped ahead in the WN mtl & here is what goes down.
Our MC pretends to be a fellow transmigrator to get the heroine to back off (since she refuses to listen to logic). The heroine is placated & stops harassing her. Meanwhile, MC has happy SoL adventures with her new friends & even gets her first smartphone from them! Also her friends show her what otome games are on her new phone & she gets pretty into it. However, Fuki-san's son shows up at her home & scolds her fiercely about "leeching off of his mother" as Fuki-san neglects her own family to look after MC & her grandma.
The backstory of Fuki-san (as MC knew it) was that as a young girl in post WWII Japan, she was nearly sold off as a comfort woman to soldiers on the streets before MC's grandma (a wealthy heiress & famed pianist) picked up her up, had her educated as a high society maid & for that, Fuki-san is grateful to her & came back even after MC's family lost their fortune.
The real backstory - Fuki-san was a child prostitute for soldiers in post WWII Japan & encountered MC's grandma at a piano concert that Fuki-san's owner brought her to. MC's grandma took pity on Fuki-san & bought her, providing her with a good home & educating her as a maid. She even brought Fuki-san over to NY with her, but unfortunately, the grandma suffered a car accident over there & lost the ability to play the piano. The grandma fell into serious depression & not even her husband could cheer her up. The grandpa's parents started to put pressure on them to either divorce or to get a concubine.
Fuki-san, whose real personality is that she is INSANELY yandere for grandma & views her as her goddess, immediately wanted to relieve her of any pain, so she offered herself up to grandpa. Grandpa rejected her, Grandma found out & felt utterly betrayed by Fuki-san, screaming at her that she was a whore. (In an earlier chapter, MC reminisces that it was a good thing Fuki-san didn't understand French because during the grandma's dementia-addled rants, she'd start calling Fuki-san a whore in French.)
Fuki-san, realizing that she had wronged her goddess, became even more crazily devoted to the grandma & determined to remove ANYONE who hurt her. She killed MC's dad after his business investments failed (he didn't run off) & purposely neglected her own husband & son (they're just monetary support to her so she can continue looking after the grandma) &, when MC confronted her, Fuki-san confessed that at many times she considered murdering MC, too.
She goes on a totally unhinged rant about her love for MC's grandma & unfortunately I stopped MTLing just as she was about to attack the horrified MC. C:
