Is TSTO appropriate for a 9 year old?
I wouldn't let anyone under the age of 11 or 12 play it...some of the content and jokes are a bit too mature for a 9 year old but not so much for an 11 or 12 year old.

Would you let her watch The Simpsons? If so, I see no reason for her not to play the game. I have a 7 year old as a neighbour. Her Dad asked for people to add her in the forum when I first started playing and she was 6 back then. I have never had the heart to unfriend her, even though her progress is slow and she rarely visits. :D
My daughter is 7 years old, and I would never, never,
EVER
dream of unfriending her. No matter how infrequently she plays. She earned a $10 donut purchase about 8 months ago by a beautiful act of kindness, and she still has most of them. She's moving very slowly, but Molzpink and I decided that with as much time as she sees, AND hears us Tapping, that she should be able to as well.
She watches The Simpsons and Bob's Burgers with us (but never Family Guy or American Dad, for obvious reasons). Also, as rosesgirlnz posted, she is not allowed to read the forums (too boring for her, no need to worry there), or have any Neighborinos besides Mom, Dad, and Other Springfield.
I don't think it's an issue unless the child doesn't have a filter between what is heard and what is said. Our girl has heard things that would make a sailor blush, but knows that it's not to come out of her mouth (we'll see about that when she's a teen, however). But above all, since it's your niece, just make sure her parents know about the game, trusting your judgement or not. The last thing you want is for her to tell daddy that her "imaginary friend thinks you're stupid."
