Nothing you can do- if you like, write an invitation letter but she needs to apply and qualify (show ties to her home country) on her own.

I would contact her and ask her if she would like to visit.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

Not a lot you can do. Obtaining a tourist visa for her would be extremely difficult and she will have to travel to a US embassy in another country at least once to apply for the visa. She will need to show very strong ties to her home country such as owning her home or a lease agreement, employment, family, etc.
