The answer

Many authentic hadiths have been narrated concerning the virtues of Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her). Among the greatest of these is that she is the wife of the Prophet (peace be upon him) in Paradise. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said to her: "Are you not pleased to be my wife in this world and the Hereafter?" She said: "Indeed, by Allah!" He said: "Then you are my wife in this world and the Hereafter." He also affirmed to her: "Verily, you are one of them," when she asked him about his wives in Paradise. And the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Aisha is my wife in Paradise." The Companions also bore witness to this. Ammar said: "Indeed, she is the wife of your Prophet (peace be upon him) in this world and the Hereafter." And Ibn Abbas said to Aisha during her illness: "You are going to meet a forerunner of truth, to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him), and to Abu Bakr." The Prophet's great love for Aisha (peace be upon him) was immense. Her not being mentioned among the four leading women of the people of Paradise does not negate her being among the people of Paradise, for authentic hadiths have confirmed that she is his wife (peace be upon him) in Paradise, and this is a great status.
