stepnieces
Partner's sibling's daughters
Stepnieces are the daughters of one's stepsibling, or the stepdaughters of one's sibling.
The relationship arises through remarriage rather than blood: My stepnieces visit every summer when their mom drops them at my brother's place.
Like other step-relations, the bond varies widely in closeness depending on family circumstances.
