Writing a story, got stuck

Hope it's okay to post this here. I do some writing now and then (a lot is porn, of course). I'm doing a story right now and I've managed to get myself stuck.

Basic situation: Boy and Girl. They've met before, know each other, even like each other. But they don't have any way to contact each other. Last time they met, they agreed to a meet-up. Add to this Girl's Sister. Sister is scared of Boy, and obviously she doesn't want Girl to be hurt. Sister knows about the meet, where and when, she'd definitely make it not happen, and Girl and Sister are basically living together. I need Boy and Girl to meet in person for at least a conversation. And Sister can't be there because Bad End.

That's the gist of it. Obviously, lot of complications I'm not mentioning (Sister's not exactly right or wrong about Boy), but they're not really relevant to the core problem. Boy and Girl meeting and Sister being a determined roadblock. And unfortunately, Sister being scared of Boy is a plot point, can't retcon it.

So, anyone have any ideas on how to handle this?

The Programming, Development & Art section would have been a better place for this.

Well, not really surprising since you decided by yourself to make everything nearly impossible:
Sister knows about the meet, where and when, she'd definitely make it not happen [...]
So now, to make the encounter happen, you've to make the girl fake to agree with her sister that it's a really bad idea to meet with MC.
Obviously, she will not agree directly, the sister will have to convince her, else the sister would suspect something.
Then the girl will have to fake something else to do. Here, she can use the planed meeting as excuse ; "You know what, you are right, MC is not reliable... Imagine that, not seeing me where we agreed to meet, he come here or search me. I'll call [a friend of her] and we will pass the [morning/afternoon, depend of when the meeting should happen] at her home. This way, no risk to encounter MC by hazard, and he'll find no one if he come here."
The girl will have to kill some times, because she really need to leave the house early in order to not make her sister suspicious ; "have she lied, will she meet with him ? I'll follow her just in case". By leaving early, why not to pass some times with her friend, then leave to meet with MC, it remove this suspicion.

Right on both counts, I'm a dummy. :(

This has possibilities. Talk sister down, distract her, then sneak off. Thank you.
