I've heard of scenarios like that - spent much of my youth as a go-between with my parents to mostly avoid that sort of thing.
I don't know what you can do about that - if you wanted to get to know the daughter, maybe invite her to someplace she wants to go someday (or something similar).

(Or if you want, free to chat about random stuff)
