How long will you be gone?
What is the average temperature and humidity where the plants are?
Are the plants exposed to full sun or under lights?
Will there be someone to attend to the plants?

For a cheep easy automatic waterer take a water bottle drill a hole in the lid about 5mm, fill with water. It’s important to push the neck of the bottle down below the top of the soil. Depending on your situation this can keep things wet for a week.

For a week or two:
Maybe move further back from the window or put cheesecloth on the window. The lower light won't hurt for a week or two but if the plants get dry and there's direct sun, could be bad.
Put the pots in trays with lots of water.
Have your aunt check in every few days or so and refill the trays. Make sure you put the proper water out. Plant minders always forget and use tap water, which can be bad if your local water is high in minerals.
Offer to clean your aunt's house or something nice to repay her

Pretty well everybody has problems when family or friends take over. So it sounds like you had the usual problems. At least everything is doing ok now. It seems if you're not a specialty plant person, you just don't get all the details.

It doesn't matter how long you instruct them. The minute you've gone, they're thinking: this pot is too wet, water is water, blah blah blah.....
