Best way to leverage a family connection for GS PWM role

Hi Guys,

I just finished a first round super day for an analyst role at GS PWM. My Aunt is an MD in the PWM group in another city but did not help me get the interview. She told me to let her know if she can be helpful but cautioned me that if she was to help in anyway it could expose our relationship and discredit my candidacy because it looks like she helped me get the interview. Do I ask her to help? If so, what is the best way she can be helpful? Email HR in the city I am applying for and vouch for me?
