It's not easy to be Neeko in Japanese society.
As seen, the moment she tried to do anything: networking/recontacting friends, or even just going out shopping, she will start to be judged negatively by all of those around her. Confidence can easily be shattered that way. I expects that even if she managed to get to an interview, the first question will always be: 'why didn't you have job last year' and her work ethic and character will simply judged negatively regardless of her answers. No wonder a lots of people just become a NEET and try to avoid from society all together in this situation
The one way out is escaping to somewhere that no one know her and start slow with a part-time job. But that costs lots of money and does not look like her family can afford to.
The other way is, marrying someone who can afford her so she can put it as a front ( the whole, 'i'm a housewife') and ease it back to employment. But then she will need a hobby or family introduction at least. Not to mention the Christmas Cake thingy is ticking down on her.
