心があさってですよー?

Non-PRO FVA Not for points 日本語 から 英語 芸術/文学 ゲーム/ビデオゲーム/賭博/カジノ "Dating sim" game
I am doing a job translating dialogue for a "dating sim" game, all the lines of text has been given to me without any context, so I'm sorry I can't provide anything else, except a male character is asking this of the player. I have the distinct feeling I'm being stupid but I'm a bit stumped... it's been a long day. Thanks in advance :)

Your mind is elsewhere (Your mind is far away)

It all depends on the context but this expression is used when someone is not able to concentrate on anything

Aren't you just running away from your problems?

I guess, this can be "心が明後日(あさって)の方向を向いている."
明後日の方向を向いている is kinda idiomatic expression which means something is "way off the mark." We can say it when people do not look straight at what they actually have to see. So from this line, I assume 心があさってですよー? probably means "you're just running away from your problems," "you're pushing the reality away" or something like that.

Well, this is just my opinion though.
