From how it was presented, I bet neither he or she are making as big a deal of it as posters here are.

Many people would not have sufficient interest to spend multiple hours with someone's mother and grandmother. And she already met or was introduced to his parents briefly or casually.

I feel like some or many of you are taking casual dating too seriously. One can date a good number of different people serially (one at a time) without meeting their mother and grandmother and spending time with them.
I don't think that is an adequate explanation. It seems SHE is making a big deal out of not meeting with them. Perhaps its just a lack of maturity on her part, but it shouldn't be any different than meeting anyone else, especially, if, as you say, its just a casual relationship.

Its not like she has to marry the guy if she meets his mom and grandma. She cant be asked? Okay. That's different from saying, "I'm not ready."

If my SO “wasn’t ready” to casually meet my family, I’d think he wasn’t that into me.

I don’t think you...er “your friend A” have anything to worry about, OP. The guy isn’t being pushy at all, in fact he is being sweet in that he is considering “her” schedule.

Maybe this “friend” isn’t really ready for a relationship. It sounds like there’s a lot of fear and trepidation.

BTW meeting the family doesn’t necessarily mean the guy is serious. I met several families in my time of dating when it was just dating on both our parts.
