I am really happy that Hornet asked this question, because I have been also struggling with the same problems with Jancis. I continue to try to have her around and available for some activity and the right time/right place simply isn't happening.
I wrote up a very simple short story arc because another role player asked me to do something more with Jancis' past. I tried to hit a balance between its connection with her and being a story all on its own for a mini adventure. I started it with some immersion pictures and I have some basic ideas on if the story goes in a different direction; I was looking forward to that idea.
That person who I was relying on to pull other people into the story IC is gone now and the few people Jancis has connections with really didn't show any interest in participating.
Where is a good line of IC and OOC to say "I have a little plot if you have the time." between Jancis' awkward apologies and trying to tell someone else about her troubles?
There's also the point with how many alts are worth while to create, but that could be its own thread.
Still any ideas on how to recruit people into an active story?
