I mean, since it's a parallel universe, that would be pretty cool to see, don't you think? Besides what Chameleon-Guy pointed out, the other problem is Ana's stepsister already had married the prince by the time Ana left for Wonderland. So unless Ana was from the future and went back in time, there is no way she can be the stepsister of Dania's Cinderella, because it is 40+ years later. Plus, Ana was probably given a simply fairytale archetype backstory and it just so happens it seems very similar to Cinderella.

A bit of (not irony) is:

The wealthy (Tremaine) didn't get her daughter into royalty at all.

The decently-middling (Ana's mom) got her daughter into wealthy, but not from her assistance.

The poor (Cora) got herself into the wealthy and her daughter.

The miller's daughter is pretty much a variation on Cinderella (in a sense) and unlike some variations, Cinderella (or the girl) is actually poor, unlike the Disney one (who's wealthy, just kept away from it).
