Wow, just imagine all the changes for her. She left her familiar school, left all her friends, left all her favorite teachers, left her old neighborhood. Now she is living in a new house, with a step-dad & a step-brother, and to top it off she does not even have the privacy of her own bedroom if she wants to be alone.
Give her time to adjust to this very new, very different situation.
Maybe it would be a good idea for the two of you to grab a drink or a cup of coffee somewhere and talk. If you can empathize with her position and let her know you are there to help, it may smooth the way, a bit.
That's a lot of change in one's life in a VERY short period of time. Just try to get along with her. If she doesn't want to be bothered, let her have her space. She has a lot going on in her own head and is probably really struggling with all of these changes.
Don't worry about her not liking you. If you like you, you are ahead of the game. The experience you all are having now is major in the stress department. Give her time and continue to be friendly and don't allow her unfriendliness to dampen your desire to get to know her better. It could take a really long time for her to settle down or she may never really accept the situation.
I wonder if she is jealous of your friendship with her sister.
Why not plan something just for the three of you like a trip to the nail salon. Treat them to nails or whatever it is that interests them at this point.
Your persistence and kindness will pay off, don't worry!
Why wouldn't a guy try to bond with his two new sisters in a nail salon? Let's be sensitive to guys here. He would probably love being pampered especially if they have people doing pedicures and related spa services. I can't think of anything better to break the ice with the sad sister.
I don't think laughing at this fellow is constructive at all.

I agree- that sound creepy to me too-
I wouldn't sweat it OP-she's 18 and probably going off to college (Is she in college)?-and if not- you will be going soon and the situation will be moot,
Sorry she's acting weird but i do commend you for trying to address it- most 17 year old boys could care less- good job.
