I can only assume she doesn't. The only person she had was her partner/publicist who died (I'm guessing not wife since it seemed like she was keeping her relationship a secret in order to sell more books.)
When "they" send Pirate Lady they picked someone who they thought Carol could relate to or would be at ease with. Since they didn't pick parents, siblings or other friends they must not exist, or must not be someone Carol would want to talk with.
Although if Carol is living in Albuquerque you would think she would have one other, at least somewhat, of a friend. An editor or someone she works with even a little bit that she would be on good terms with. Or even a friend from when she was younger. Almost anyone would be better than a complete stranger, I would assume.
That's weird to me. I guess this is a criticism I have of a lot of shows I've watched. The leads appear to have non-existent families that should appear at some point. I even noticed it in For All Mankind, where the Baldwin and Stevens families parents didn't seem to exist despite the fact they were young enough to exist in the 70s and 80s, and not one of them had any siblings.
In many shows it doesn't matter, and you don't need to see relatives like that - but it's sometimes more stark.
