This idea of "the parent works in X, so the child is obsessed with and knowledgable about it too" is always retarded. Its super common in manga/anime too, so its not like they pulled it completely on their own.
Like, my dad worked in the oil field for 40 years and my stepfather was a master carpenter. I know nothing about oil rigs and my woodworking skills were learned on my own in high school.
Its especially retarded as Harris does not seem like some dutiful and attentive daughter who'd give half a shit about her parents even as a kid.
I always assumed family businesses are still more socially relevant in Japan. You teach your kid your trade in the expectation they take over for you as they get older. That wasn't rare in the West either before everything became corporate.
Considering how much time is spent on schooling and studying in those schools, there is a limited time to be also learning an entire trade enough to be above "interested and basic."
Its not like America where farm kids can put in 0 effort into school to save it for the field.
