We were talking about it in my buddy chat and here's what we came to:
Jonas was married multiple times; this was a fact of the old story. Ludmilla was not Sophilia's mother, but simply Jonas's current wife. Thus, maybe Olivia and Sophilia were only half-sisters? They had different mothers.
So, who's Joe then? Well, let's look at his name, versus her father's name: Joe and Jonas. Joe could easily be a shortened form of Jonas, right? Perhaps, then, Joe is how Olivia remembered Jonas; in that case, Joe is simply a fragment of Olivia's memories. The KMS version of the mansion (parts of which were integrated in via 2008's event) uses the Masked Gentleman as a man who can conjure lost memories to life. That could be what's going on now.
The other option is that Joe would be a stepfather who married Olivia's real mother.
