Kimiko's mother died during Huozai's attack on their district of Destiny City three years prior to the attack on New Caledonia. So not that recent, but recent enough for Kimiko to agree to allow Ilona to live within her body.

Ilona is still a free spirit so her liking Lawrence isn't a 100% guarantee I'm afraid. ^_^;
