All you wanted was a fun night out playing magic between friends. It sounds like that's what Ceo wants, too, except she tends to take it way too far and hares off during critical junctures to do so. So now you're dealing with this.
Tell Ceo not to worry about it, you've got this. Gesture for Mayor to go back inside - starting a shouting match from the window won't solve anything and will just annoy, amuse or confuse passersbys. Bring Poe in, buy everyone a bagel and have someone go get Mayor one or two energy drinks - she'll need 'em. I'm not sure Ceo's experienced her sister on energy drinks before, so that should be interesting later.
Sit down to discuss the matter of Ceo's 'off time' like responsible adults dealing with an irresponsible one. Mind that it is not YOUR responsibility to deal with Ceo's irresponsibility - not as a police officer, at least - but Poe appears to have vested interest in doing so as her friend/associate and Mayor's her family and will, probably rightly, be concerned and exasperated enough to want to take some manner of action. Your skin in the game is to oversee the completion of the fun game night without any more crazy drivers, shouting matches, angry phone calls or personal problems interrupting it.
First off, if literally everything has been tried, then there is very little you can do about Ceo's issues directly. If she really needs and wants - at least when she's not 'in the zone' - a chaperone to keep her in line, then you don't mind that and won't get in Poe's way in the future - assuming he doesn't break the law like a screaming maniac.
If Ceo's business is literally falling apart without her even for just an evening, does Mayor have the skills and wherewithal to possibly handle a few of the issues they're having on her sister's behalf, or is that Ceo's cross to bear entirely? You're just thinking of a stopgap measure for today, you don't expect her to handle her sister's business - literally - in the future, but it would be a nice card to hold over her sister. "While you were head-over-heels gaming, I saved your business. Straighten your act." type guilting stuff, etc. Who knows, doesn't sound like that's been tried before.
In the future, you can be amenable to insist that Ceo take her calls and not just ignore her responsibilities as a business owner. You were just trying to facilitate a game evening and had no idea the problem was, apparently, this extensive. You also do not want to get Villi in trouble by having Ceo take such an interest in his store that she makes it her next thing to succeed-fail at.
