Cannot accept family sharing invitation

Oh my sister in law sent the invite and her old IPad (running 14.6). She scrubbed it clean otherwise. When I tap the get started button, it takes me to iCloud but there is no invitations (the word is no where to be found) or any other ways to proceed. Now she had been using it prior so I know it must be something dumb I am doing (shoot me, I’m a PC guy) but I have checked everywhere and haven’t a clue. Logins seem fine. Heeellllpp!


Thanks
