It is a common thing in real life for friends of the parents to be labelled 'uncle' or 'aunt', even if there is no relation to the family in any way.

I actually have personal experience with this. My friends had a baby last year, and refer to me as the baby's aunt, even though there is no familial relation between my friends and myself or the baby and myself at all. Step-aunt is not used in any way; it's pure and simple 'aunty'.
