Multiple times it mentions that "guess culture" is frustrating and difficult, and that she and her brother prefer ask culture because it's easier.

"Ask" culture is prevalent in places where people come from diverse backgrounds. Cultures might also not be uniformely "ask" or "guess" across all topics. Therefore, when people with different value systems and communication cultures meet, "guess" culture simply doesn't work because other person's needs and intentions are often unexpected.
This comment is astute. Homogenous vs heterogenous cultures. What flies in Los Angeles will not fly in Tokyo.
