The answer

It is forbidden to shake hands with the daughter of the grandfather's wife, because she is not a mahram to him; she is a stranger to him. As for the mother's paternal aunt (amma), she is in the position of a paternal aunt to the children, and it is permissible to shake hands with her because she is a mahram.
