You can lower her affinity between Arousing Suspicion and Duchess In Distress, and I did not get her at the end. To be fair, I did raise affinity with other NPCs so maybe it was a natural consequence of NPC-with-affinity-maxed-last-interacted-with, and not because Aelinore wasn't maxed for me. The max affinity stat counter also doesn't decrement either so we can't tell from that.

I'd say if you want Aelinore at the end, after completing Duchess In Distress make sure you lower the affinity of anyone else you need to interact with a lot and just rush the game ending.
