Estee is such an as$hole, even to her family. She didn't want to go home for Christmas this year (ok fine whatever, she's an adult and it's an international flight). But then she last minute decided she is going to go home for Christmas, but she's FLYING on Christmas Eve.
Cool, so you're
actually missing 50% of Christmas (probably even part of Christmas Day, depending on when her flight lands). And you're going to make your family members drive to the airport on the actual holiday.
There's no reason why she had to do that. It's not like she has an actual job and has to get approved for PTO. She's just being difficult for the sake of being difficult.
