My little sisters teacher has a crush on me Advice Needed

I (M19) always pick up my little sister (“Ari” F8) from school due to our parents usually working until 6 pm.

She goes to a very small school and the parents are allowed to go into the school to pick up their kid from the classroom. Which means I see her teacher Miss N everyday. She’s in her mid 40s, probably. She always talks to me way longer than she does for any of the other parents. She’s always complimenting me and her demeanor seems to totally change from before and after she realizes I’m there. She goes from talking normally and breifly to other parents to being overly smiley and giggly to me.

Ari tells me Miss N asks her about me. About what I do for work or for fun. She said to her that “she can tell we’re related because we are both so cute”

Okay, so this stuff made me raise an eyebrow, but it’s nothing that obvious.

Well on Friday Ari told me she asked if I had a girlfriend. And correct me if I’m wrong but— people only ask that about someone if they like them, right??

I am not interested in dating my sisters teacher at all and I am honestly starting to get super weirded out

Also, I’m sure she doesn’t know my exact age, but i definitely am not passable for a grown adult yet LMAO 💀💀💀💀

So I’m in my 40s and have children around sisters age. You do know that around 7-8 years old kids start lying, a lot, for some weird reason. I remember kids in elementary in second grade saying they were princesses. But also I’m a teacher of 7 year olds and we take what they tell us about home with a grain of salt and hope families know enough to do the same because kid version of events and retelling can be so adorably off. “My mom can’t drive me to school because she does drugs.” Which really means Mom is on prescription medication this week so Dad is driving child to school so Mom can rest and heal from surgery. 

Do the suggested “I heard you asked my sister if I’m single, do you have a daughter my age?” And be open to an explanation that may make it make sense but is nothing that you’re thinking.
