Found a sorta backdoor solution: If you don't wanna reload a save or something you can use a save editor and CTRL-F 'Yris', which will bring you to her questline value saved as a number (in this case it should be 4). Replace the 4 with a 5 to skip the talking to Ayda step and simply continue down the intended path.

Strive for Power community » Bugs and Suggestions · Created a new topic [Bug] Can't complete Yris' questline if Ayda is recruited.
Unsure if this is an intentional and unfortunate 'softlock' or an unforeseen circumstance since Ayda became recruitable, but if you have recruited Ayda you cannot talk to her or her assistant to forward Yris' questline (at the part where you need her to advise you before taking the 1000g bet).
I'm on the most recent Win64 version and I'm currently in post-story but I doubt this is a platform specific issue or a story/post-story one either.
