It’s totally okay. I know girls as much as 5 years older than the guy where it seems to work out, and 2 years really isn’t a big deal at all. The important thing is that you make sure he is okay with it (almost certainly would be I imagine). I think your biggest challenge will be giving him clear enough cues to *know* he is out of the friend zone and allowed to consider you as a romantic interest, without straight up taking the lead and robbing him of the experience of pursuing you with any initiative of his own. If your relationship has been established as one where the idea of you two being romantically involved is a joking matter, you’ll need to snip that in the bud ASAP. You’ll need to find a way to make it clear and obvious to him that he is allowed to ask you out, or he probably never will, for fear that you’d laugh at him.
I think the part where he is your BFF’s brother is a non-issue. It sounds like that’s only a positive factor if anything. As long as you don’t intend to treat him like trash and date him irresponsibly with no expectation of things having the potential to end in a happily ever after, then I think her and the whole family should be thrilled to know he’s with a girl they approve of.
