My aunt needs some extra help. She is getting on in years. I often go over to help her with chores. This morning I cooked her a meal and cleaned her apartment.

Which is a euphemism that the author uses to be polite?

The euphemism that the author uses to be polite is "She is getting on in years." This phrase subtly addresses aging without directly stating it, which can be considered sensitive.
