I mean... she kinda already is, right? Full name Cora Harper, assumed daughter of Jack Harper, also known as The Illusive Man?

Going into Andromeda, many fans thought Cora was going to pull off some sort of big reveal where we'd find out she was the daughter of TIM, yet aside from her referring to her father as a "prickly old b*stard" and a "genius" she could be honest with, that's all we get.

As both a neat tie into exploring The Illusive Man's actions outside of the one room we mostly see him in, Cora's access to TIM's archives would be the perfect way to introduce the necessary specifics in regards to Shepard's story, to the wider crew.

You could literally tie the unlocking of the original trilogy's major story beats into Cora going through her father's old archives, having pivotal cutscenes involving the whole crew, who - as both fans of Shepard, the Normandy, science and space itself - would dissect them accordingly.
