The grandchildren were all sleeping in the same room with Battler, so they weren't available as first twilight victims either. That only left Genji, Kumasawa, Nanjo, Gohda, Kinzo's corpse, Shannon, and Kanon. Since she would have to fake her death at least once no matter what, she couldn't sacrifice Nanjo, and she didn't dare leave any of the others alive because that would literally be the first solution Meta-Battler would come up with. So now she's out nearly all of her accomplices and her spare corpse, and she can't stay near the survivors either. It's a pretty dangerous middle game position for her, hence the need for the feint with Eva.

She may have had some options to break open the dining room, so it wasn't necessarily the best series of moves she could have made.
