A few days ago, my ggdaughter, age 5, mentioned Holloween.
I said, "Mammaw doesn't like Holloween. She asked why.
I told her, "It is the Devil's night."
She looked at me in shock. "Mammaw, you don't believe that there is a real Devil, do you?"
"Oh yes, honey, there is a real Devil."
"Aunt Sara, told me a story about the Grim Reaper, is that the Devil?"
"Well, the Devil likes to kill people, but he is more than that."

Soon, I plan on starting with Adam and Eve and tell her the whole story. I don't know what her mother, (my granddaughter) will say, but she loves me and I love her so I think we can work it out.

it sounds to me like the little girl started the conversation , so in that case I have no problem with what you told her. You gave her an honest answer to an honest question. As far as any further teaching, I do think you need to clear that with her mother first. Not because she shouldn't be taught. But because you don't ever want to close any doors with her mom. You also want to be able to reach HER
