I don't mean to exclude school friends, but she can only spend so much time around them. Shannon is the only one she sees at home, the one who has been around longest, and the one she's interacted with at family conferences. She'd by necessity be the closest person just by factor of time, and she's the only person who could have passing interactions with Jessica that escape Natsuhi's scrutiny, because the entire purpose of Shannon being there is to both do work (which necessitates being around) and hang out with Jessica (which necessitates being around).
I'm not aware of Jessica going and hanging out with friends on a regular basis, and it's implied Natsuhi would not allow it. But at times when Natsuhi couldn't
stop it, such as when Jessica's stranded on Niijima by the rain, you'd think she'd call her friend if she happens to also be in town.
