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. Regina cursed the land. She brought the people SHE wanted to have in her life at Storybrooke. Most likely she didn't care about the stepmother/stepsisters. Just a thought.
