Regarding Kano's stepmom, I think there are possible ulterior motives for Nitta and Kano that are less than benevolent.
A.) She may see Kano's lifestyle as a burden on the family. If she focuses on Nitta, she may get her act together, then possibly think about helping the family business.
B.) It may be a patriarchal family where only the man of the family inherits the business and fortune, so she could want Nitta himself to take over
C.) Because Kano's lifestyle is a moneysink, her stepmother may want her to marry into someone else's family liek Nitta's so that she is out of the picture and no longer wants the family fortune.
