I'm not sure it falls into your category but skyjo. It is a tiny bit complex and while a game is short one usually does play a series of games tracking points. But single games are totally fine too imo so maybe it qualifies.
What I have come to love about the game as a dad of two is that the game can be paused and picked up with zero downside. The game has no hidden information one can know and no information to keep track of. No past plays to remember or anything. If you know the game I could sit you down at a table mid game, tell you nothing but whose turn it is. And you could continue playing as if you were there from the beginning. It's great if you are interrupted by the kids, cats, dogs, door bell, mom calling, house on fire, ordered pizza. That makes it such a nice game got parents imo.
Skyo is great, quick to learn, the older part of my family also grasped it quickly and had fun.
