Giving Mio a presence in the series right from the start I see? You’d have to rewrite her backstory a bit (unless she doesn’t actually become Cure Hunter until a little later) but it could work.

Maybe start the series with the big battle against Black Hole mentioned in the plot description, after that we cut to a few months later where no one has seen or heard from any Precure in a while. As such, the government (headed by Mio’s father) announces that they’re currently doing their own research into the technology in order to protect the country.

You could introduce Mio as one of Aya’s classmates who’s a bit standoffish and has a rather dim view of the Precure and doesn’t believe in heroes in general (saying they’re all useless and will abandon you when you need them the most).

One night, an prototype transformation device is stolen from a government lab. Flashforward a bit into the episode where we see Aya struggling a bit against a Zakenna themed Dark Matter monster when suddenly the creature is destroyed without warning. She sees a mysterious Black Cure there who leaves without a word.

Mio would be something of an independent agent in the conflict at first, fighting against both the Precure and Black Hole alike in her hunt for the Prism Cards (eventually striking up a deal with the latter).

Another idea I just had for her is that she’d somehow be able to swipe some of Black Hole’s technology to create her own minions from the stolen Prism Cards. These particular MOTW would be called Plagues, monster versions of past Cures similar to ZI-O’s Another Riders
