Age 14 is the beginning of a new note in our life octave, so it's major. It affects each person differently. She may be shy, period, or she may be nervous about whom she friends. She may even like you but doesn't want to make it "look obvious" by responding quickly. Being a family friend could be helpful, as it wouldn't necessarily imply that you have "that" kind of interest.
If she does eventually reciprocate the friending, let it stay at the friends level for awhile, with maybe just a little sign of added interest. Your interest must be in her likes and dislikes much more than her possibility of interest in you. She will reveal that soon enough if it's there.
Think of this as practice in dealing with the female population, as you have years ahead of you. She may make a mistake that implies that "it's over." Stay cool and don't burn the bridge. Let time pass and send out another feeler.
Best of luck!
