Onegai Twins - 1: The Twins Are Three People?

Title:Onegai Twins
Episode:1: The Twins Are Three People?
Synopsis
When the TV reports an UFO sighting, the screen shows a house near the lake of the Onegai Teacher location which three young people notice they are linked to by their childhood memories. Maiku goes there first, and by working as computer programmer he can afford to rent the house. A few days later two girls (Miina and Karen) arrive there, both claiming to be Maiku's twin sister, and both bringing a photograph along of which Maiku treasures his own copy since his childhood days.

The guessing game is on: Who's the real deal, who's the fake? (If any, that is.) Apparently Karen is an alien (as she has her own space ship controller?) but that doesn't mean she must be the wrong girl... by the way, don't they have genealogical DNA tests in Japan these days as well, thus solving the whole "twins riddle" right away?
So far the premise is weak once again. Why would these kids expect to be allowed to live in this house when it most likely could be inhabited by some stranger? Why is this house so important for them in the first place when their parents are gone? Why didn't they investigate the location, say, by telephone? They would have known the names of their parents, wouldn't they?
Again, the whole story doesn't look as if it needed the reference to Onegai Teacher's aliens. I wonder what purpose this idea will serve this time, other than having the sensei appear in this show. Then again, the three photographs require some explanation, and I'm afraid they will need some SF elements to create one (time paradoxon or whatever).
