I think the 2017 is just an error. It really doesn't make sense. I'm ignoring what year it is on Earth. I am just trying to measure how much time passes.

Alice experiences 17+ years before Henry's arrival. This means time in NEF moves at most slightly more than twice as fast as Storybrooke time. There is no way time moves four times as fast. Ella and Drizella were clearly frozen in time. They did not experiennce the same amount of time as Henry.

Here's my new estimation. When Henry meets Ella they are both 20, meaning she only experienced 4 years since Anastasia died and was frozen for the rest. They have Lucy when they are 22. The curse hits them when they are 30. And they are currently 32. Drizella is 22 because she was frozen for the 8 years before the curse. When Henry left Storybrooke, he was 18 and Robin was 5. She experienced 13 years while Henry only experienced 5 years, making them 18 and 23 when she arrives in NEF. Alice would be at least 20 at this point, making her 29 in the present, while Robin is 27. If we ignore the age of all the older characters, this timeline would make sense.
