Seders90, Ruby mentioned in The Price of Gold that Ashley had "a stepmother and two stepsisters she doesn't talk to", so Cinderella's stepsisters are supposedly both in Storybrooke at this time. Ashley probably never actually met her stepmother and stepsisters in Storybrooke. She only had memories of them so Anastasia could have easily not been in Storybrooke. That's a good point. And maybe Ashley appearing in the Pilot was a subtle hint to this.

On the other hand, Anastasia's mother said "Off with you, then. At least I have your sister s ". And she surely wouldn't count Cinderella in.
