Honestly, Spiritfarer would be perfect. You can play local co-op, it's quite easy. You will understand what's going on but your daughter will just think it's cute. One of you can play as a cat. It's absolutely gorgeous and a very poignant story.
My partner and I have played it all the way through 3 times now.

I love Spiritfarer, would normally agree without a second thought, but in this case, I'd definitely say be quietly prepared to answer some questions about death.
It does excellently to handle its themes in beautiful ways, but kids can be more aware than we give them credit for, even if they don't fully grasp a concept.
I played this one with my older son a few years back and I think this would be a great option for her. As the cat, you can really just loaf about
