I've seen a lot of members offering things for people to come to their town to unlock Katrina's Fortune house faster... the thing is, only characters who live in your town count. Having people come over does nothing.
How do you know this?
Because I have her!
My very first day I got Katrina, I actually had 17 friends come over and get fortunes told after I finished on all 4 of my characters for a total of 21 people (just incase the Mayor didn't count). Since I didn't go last, if this was true, I would've been told on my 2nd visit from Katrina.
On that said 2nd visit, nothing was said. So, I figured I'd try the other idea as at this time, it was still unclear if it could be anyone or had to be characters in your town so I continued to see her everytime on all 4 of my characters (making sure my Mayor went last). On the 5th time Katrina came (which made a total of 20), she did suggest the project after I got my fortune read and I was able to build the Fortune House on Main Street.
Here is part of when Katrina was suggesting it:
As you see, she specifically says the people of your town.
If you want to invite people to come over to get their fortune read, you still can! Just realize this will not help you get the project any faster.
You can still get Katrina in a day, however. If you create and delete a character 19 times (getting their fortune told each time) and then go do the 20th time on your mayor, you will get the project request. This is the fastest way to unlock it--otherwise, you just need to wait on the randomness. I ended up getting the project unlocked on July 11th so a little over a month which is pretty much exactly getting her once a week so yeah.
