You've got everything covered except why she has to save the Nutcracker. I love political intrigue.
Let's see, this has to be bigger than just a household against the rats in the walls. First you've have to decide whether it was set in Russia or Somewhere Else.
Maybe the Nutcracker is the heir of the old king of the land and the Stahlbaums (and all there friends) follow the new rulers. The Snow Flake and Sugar Plum kingdoms are in favor of the status quo because they have lost too many of their people in the war and they are just glad it's over. (The fighting could have happened in the last decade or several decades ago.)
