The answer

If the person who brought your mother home and sat with her in the house is her nephew (her brother's son), then he is a mahram to her, and it is permissible for him to sit with her alone. As for your sister, the son of her maternal aunt (her mother's sister's son) is not a mahram to her; he is a stranger to her. Therefore, it is not permissible for him to be in seclusion with her, even if a mere greeting or conversation for a necessary purpose is permissible. The overnight stay of the maternal aunt's son in your house is permissible, provided it does not lead to seclusion or suspicious mixing.
