Aunty

An aunt is either the sister of one's parent or the wife of an uncle, making them a second-degree relative with 25% genetic overlap if a full sister or 12.5% overlap if a half-sister. An aunt through marriage has less genetic overlap as this person joined the family through their spouse rather than a direct blood relation.
