I looked into an affinity lo pro xs the top tube is alot shorter, however the seat tube is alot higher 46cm vs 51.5cm.
Finding an ideal frame without a sloping top tube seems impossible right now.
Good luck, I'd tell her look at comfort before aesthetics if it's really harming her ability to enjoy the bike. (IE me putting a 26 degree stem on a leader.)
