To avoid this prompt in full, try the following:

I. Disable "Ask to Join Networks"

1. Go to: Settings
2. Select: WiFi
3. Turn off: "Ask to Join Networks"

Then,

II. Remove that Network:

1. Go To: Settings
2. Select: WiFi
3. Select: [the network name] (tapping where the small "I" is)
4. Select: "Forget This Network"

III. Add the Network Back. To add it back, you must know the SSID(Network Name) and Password

I have the same issue but both the iPhone and the MacBook Air are just my account: no wife involved.

Scan your Mac for Malware: 

What happens when you disable Wi-Fi on these devices? Does this still show up? If so, it'd seem to be malware installed on your Mac (and your iPhone).

So...

Use MalwareBytes for Mac --- This is software that searches for malware/adware. So, scan with it and then remove what is found. Once removed, uninstall MalwareBytes for Mac. Then restart the Mac.

Downloads:

1. Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for Mac
2. Malwarebytes uninstaller

And this is on your Macbook?

EtreCheck is a simple little app to display the important details of your system configuration and allow you to copy that information to the Clipboard. It is meant to be used with Apple Support Communities to help people help you with your Mac.

Pastebin is a good place to paste the whole report...

Or use the paperclip at the bottom of a Reply to attach the full report here. :)

Workable but harder for me to work with...the Note tool on the bottom of this editor's toolbar, as shown in the image, to copy and paste the output from EtreCheck.

There is also free Malwarebytes which may take care of it...

If that's on an iOS device, turn off Hotspot.

Is 23 Academy lane your Network?

And "Nastassia's Macbook" is yours?

And Most Routers have a setting to whitelist or blacklist who can join.

In Sys Prefs>iCloud, is Keychain checked?
