According to every book and article I read on the series, the show included her so that an adult male wasn’t living with a young teen that wasn’t his son and making people wonder if they were playing with each other’s Bat-poles.
That said, I loved Aunt Harriet and I’m glad she was part of the series.
In the Matt Reeve’s The Batman movie there was a woman in the mansion and I wondered if she was supposed to be Aunt Harriet.
shareThat woman was Rachel Dawes' mother.
Seriously, Batman Begins and The Batman acknowledge that Alfred is a major-domo not a lone housekeeper serving the immense Wayne Manor and assisting Batman.
Other people would work in in the house, cleaning cooking, etc. Probably no live-in help.
