nearly 4 years old daughter advice needed

i have 2 older anti social boys. i have a nearly 4 year old social daughter. she loves everyone.
our neighbours have a 6 year old grand daughter who gets on very very well with my nearly 4 year old (im english living in eastern europe. kids arent as plentiful here).
my daughter plays with the little girl when shes over which isnt that often. (once a month). usually shes here for the day and the girls play and have fun while the grown ups drink coffee or work. it can be in eith er house or between the houses. its lovely.
my daughter cant understand that when the girls parents arent there the grandparents want her to themselves (shes the only grandchild). i totally get this. ive tried to explain that to my daughter. she just sobs. absolutely nothing distracts her.

i am moving us to another country before xmas that she can actually make friends and attend clubs. due to her health condition she cant attend school.

how do i get her to understand that her friend needs to be able to spend time with her grandparents

Humans are social creatures and she is just trying to fulfil a biological drive to socialise. I don’t think any explaination will be enough to over come that.

she sees and interacts with people out side of the family most days. its this 1 special friend she wants to play with.
i have explained why her friend wants to spend time with her grandparents. its just hard to get her to understand
