So when I hit my teens, my parents sat down and showed me how to do laundry and my mom invited me to help her cook just to learn the basics.
So, many 20 somethings don't know how to do their laundry, and some have never learned to cook. Her girlfriend simply may not know how to do her own laundry, and like me, she may be so new to cooking that all her food turns out crap without help from Mom.

I know a lot of people who came out of college and still didn't know how to do laundry. I think it does signify a bit of a sheltered life, but that's okay, and nothing to shame someone for. We don't learn how to do things until we need to. It doesn't mean someone doesn't have the ability to take care of themselves or be self sufficient.
