Okay then. Here's an idea for the reason why Minnie's nieces live with her:


 * Millie and Melody's father, and therefore Minnie's brother or brother-in-law, is in the US Marines and currently deployed overseas, while their mother could be deceased due to drowning.

And three episodes, one of them concerning this fact:


 * Welcome Home: Richie learns from Minnie that Millie and Melody's father, Sergeant Morgan Mouse, is returning home from a leg of duty, and he and his friends decide to surprise the girls.


 * Let's Get Married: Mickey proposes to Minnie, and she says yes, and Richie and friends all pitch in to help prepare for the wedding.


 * Putt-Putt Goes To School: Putt-Putt wants to experience school like the Mouse kids and Webby, so Richie enrolls him in a school for young cars.
