It's definitely a trope, but I think it kinda works in this case.
They're not all that much older than Heather herself, who's only 17. Yet, they're more established, more decided, in a sense more "matured", and trying(in some cases, succeeding) to take those very things away from her. Her agency, her body, her guide to growing.
They're not much further physically, but they view her like a child, a vessel for their desires of the future. In doing so, it makes their downfall. She's forced to mature, and like many children with overbearing parents, that maturation pushes her against them harder and harder, culminating to the end.
I have to wonder if writers when deciding to create a fictional character, kind of just think about the minimum reasonable age to have achieved whatever is required for their story position.
Leaves you no blank stretch of time where you gotta wonder what the hell they were up to.
