button straddles, SB calls ($100 behind), UTG+1 calls($45 behind), UTG+2 calls ($45-60 behind), Hero has AK in MP and raises to $25> HJ (old lady, 70 yrs+, VPIP probably around 30%, hasnt raised any hands in last 2 hours), every one else folds and its heads up

Flop 678 pot = $62 pre rake(so $57 after?)

Hero?

I bet half pot and shut it down if she calls and nothing special comes.

ok, I did bet half pot(actually $25, but $30 may be a bit more optimal), turn comes 9, Hero?

(also, not sure if betting flop is even good TBH, I think her range is pretty strong for calling $25 preflop, and if it isnt as strong as I think, she would smash this flop)

Check fold the turn. You haven't improved, she has already shown willingness to call on a semi-scary draw-y board.

Assuming 1/2nl. Who straddled? From where? To how much?
I guess it's $4 from the button but please understand that this stuff isn't consistent between casinos.

If I'm right then there was $20 in the pot after you matched the straddle but before you raised. Against these shorts I raise more since I generally can't fold to them post flop. I'd recommend more of a squeeze sizing PF of 2x pot. Something like $40 sounds good.

Check/fold flop. As played ship turn. Should have some fold equity against QQ and JJ.
