New Orleans was a "different kind of segregated" with stronger rules for women than for men. She's going to have real issues meeting the boy in any context other than his role as a servant, or in a service capacity. However she might be able to visit his house as she can be visiting his parents.

But it would be perfectly possible for the young woman to come to the house, or for them to meet in certain cafes where passing would be ignored, although it might be whispered about.

Maybe you could make their occupation something that would allow them to use that as a framework for meeting? (The first thing that comes to mind is for them to be taylors, but maybe something else would fit i to the story better...)

Nobody who is 1/4 white is going to pass for white. Somebody who is 1/4 black might be able to.

Honestly, you're most reasonable chances of them meeting is if they accidentally run into each other in town or something.
