I think her being estranged is essential to the main plot. The estrangement is the emotional complication she must overcome in order to decide to rescue her father. Her stake in rescuing the farm is emotional -- not financial.

Riff off the parable of the prodigal son. Only she's the prodigal daughter.

fwiw.

In that case I would describe the inciting incident first as it is the major source of motivation for the MC.

For example:
After her father suffers a stroke an introvert professional gammer must assemble and lead a team of gammers to win a worldwide gaming tournament in order to pay for her father's care and save his farm.

I think if you make the stakes his health they are higher than his farm alone and worldwide tournament increases the challenge as the competition would be greater than a local one.

Her being estranged is unrelated to the main plot it is likely a sub plot and can be left for the synopsis a this stage.
