I can confirm, its not bugged. I did a playthrough on latest patch and met Emma. You have to do a weird thing to meet her now. You have to go to your flat -> hit investigate -> hit in person, and Emma's name should appear. Its weird and im not sure why attention to this wasnt brought up or maybe it was and im just a fool. But Emma is not bugged on 0.22.1, she just extra shy now lol

The option for investigating her, ya, had also been hitting that every time point for at least half the days in the week (whenever I came home after walking around, I would also hit this to see if we needed to use that to find her walking around), she was never home/responded.
I recovered and older version of the game, and after trying it the investigate worked there.
So, got it working on 0.21.2 build
After failing to on my 0.21.6a build
And now new 0.22.1 build is out, no idea for it here.
idk man. I did it on the 0.22.1 build to be certain I wasn't bullshitting you. So I sped through Act one, and successfully made it to act 2 after trial and error of investigating her, and doing anything else I could. Maybe Arc could make Pixie a little more specific on how to find Emma as even I was confused on how I got it to happen
Edit: I did see that you were using the 0.21.6 build, and I'm pretty sure that's why. That build is several months old at this point and I'm pretty certain there was a bug in one of the builds that prevented Emma from appearing at all
