You should just remind me that outside pressure will likely only make their issues worse and that if he is genuine about a relationship with his granddaughter then his relationship with his daughter needs resolving from a genuine place that only he can come from. Your sister being receptive to him is her choice entirely, he should approach it as such, and hope for positivity, but absolutely shouldn't place any expectations on her. A heartfelt apology directly from him would be a good start. Anything from outside perspective won't help, or come across as genuine.
I'd stay out of it other than to give him those reminders when it does come up. I'm sorry OP, family divides are difficult and I hope you all get some peace whatever happens.
If it is important to you then you should propose. It doesn’t need to be dramatic gesture. It is simply a question, and if his answer isn’t yes, and he doesn’t have a timeline in mind when it will be yes, then you should know it’s time to move on.
Your gf is a male?
