Aesthetics and accessibility are not contradictory. It takes a good understanding of colors and contrasts to create accessibility on the one hand and to develop appealing designs on the other.

What do you do when it's an existing design? I made this app before I knew about UX, and premised the colors on a cute aesthetic, which is part of why users like the app. Adding high contrast was a way to add accessibility but keep the familiar look too, as I fear users will dislike a design change.
My opinion: the necessary adjustments are not as radical as you fear. Check the contrast ratios and adjust colors. I would start with everything that has to do with readability. I would point out these optimizations in the update information. Users are more likely to appreciate this than reject it.
