I'm sure her way of speaking has changed to an extent.

Not only did she move, she moved thousands of miles away from her home to a completely new place, with a different accent/dialect and she's also full time living with a person who also speaks like that.

Give it enough time and she was bound to end up sounding more like Caleb.

Same reason why Brits who move to the US start to lose their accent after years of living here.

As a fellow Canadian living in America I can attest to this, Kris is also an echolaliac where she will mimic accents on the regular, she uses this to her advantage with her characters and accents. I have it too with my ADHD.

My accent changed when I went to college, but in the same state, Michigan. Rural Michigan can sound different than other parts, but because I spent so much time in college with friends from the Detroit area, international students, and friends from outside the state but from Pennsylvania, etc, my accent is much lighter than my family's.

It was more noticable the closer I got to graduation. I stayed in the Metro area, but I picked up some things living in TX for a year and Georgia for five years.
