Holy shit OP, all of those ideas are gold! Yes YES to a gruff warrior and precious little girl having a tea party. She pours him a cup of pretend tea from a cute plastic Baby's First Order teapot. He waits until she's not looking to pretend spike his tea with a pretend pour from a scratched-up Knight's Own hip flask. "Careful, Mr. Ren, someone's always watching~" Every stuffed animal in her room is a nanny-cam, everything else is a battle-droid.
The estate housekeeper is great because this whole thing naturally needs to be hosted at the Hux Family Estate, a brutalist mockery of Pemberley that is obviously not theirs at all, the Hux's just showed up one day all freshly exiled and annoyed and decided to move into the biggest house in town. The original occupants fled for their lives through the elaborate hedge maze and probably still live in there to this day. What was once a family room is now a gallery, filled floor-to-ceiling with oil portraits of unimpressed ginger cats, and it quickly becomes the go-to make out spot during the Knight's visit.
It's like Space Downton Abbey (I have never seen a single episode of Downton Abbey).
