local-relative correspondence of van Garrel-Graber-Ruddat: for

(X, D)

a pair with

X

a smooth projective variety and

D

a nef smooth divisor, maximal contact Gromov-Witten theory of

(X, D)

with

l a m b d a_{g}

-insertion is related to Gromov-Witten theory of the total space of

m a t h c a l O_{X} (- D)

and local Gromov-Witten theory of

D

. Specializing to

(X, D) = (S, E)

for

S

a del Pezzo surface or a rational elliptic surface and

E

a smooth anticanonical divisor, we show that maximal contact Gromov-Witten theory of

(S, E)

is determined by the Gromov-Witten theory of the Calabi-Yau 3-fold

m a t h c a l O_{S} (- E)

and the stationary Gromov-Witten theory of the elliptic curve

E

. Specializing further to

S = m a t h b b P^{2}

, we prove that higher genus generating series of maximal contact Gromov-Witten invariants of

(m a t h b b P^{2}, E)

are quasimodular and satisfy a holomorphic anomaly equation. The proof combines the quasimodularity results and the holomorphic anomaly equations previously known for local

m a t h b b P^{2}

and the elliptic curve. Furthermore, using the connection between maximal contact Gromov-Witten invariants of

(m a t h b b P^{2}, E)

and Betti numbers of moduli spaces of semistable one-dimensional sheaves on

m a t h b b P^{2}

, we obtain a proof of the quasimodularity and holomorphic anomaly equation predicted in the physics literature for the refined topological string free energy of local

m a t h b b P^{2}

in the Nekrasov-Shatashvili limit.
