I see a lot of rationalization for accepting this "nice man's" invitation. My guess is that your intentions here are not all pure. This is her family. And if you want to minimize interaction then I would suggest calling her uncle and saying: "Happy birthday! Unfortunatly, I cannot make it tonight. I have plans, but wanted to let you know I appreciate you and the invitation."
I don't often quote myself, but I called out your rationalizations. You then went and then came back with even more rationalizations. You can't really DB halfway. Many have tried, and the D rate is around 99% for those that have.
