Help, I think my cat is a vampire

Luna came to us because her previous owner passed away. She didn't eat at all before a trip to the vet, but she is generally healthy.

She hides all day every day until sunset. That's the only time she will eat. She even approaches us for cuddles and playtime, but only at night. All night. We really can't sleep. At sunrise, she disappears in fear as if she forgot who we are.

Any tips on getting her used to daylight? ๐Ÿ˜ช

My first cat was similar when I first got her. She'd hide under my bed all day, but creep out at night, especially when I was sleeping, to check me out and see if I was safe. She eventually became the most outgoing, friendly cat. Unfortunately, the solution to this might just be more time for her to decompress and adjust. I would try something like a feliway diffuser or calming spray to put on the places she usually hangs out.
