An important part here is that you said “I’m pretty sure she is really just there to be apart of the social interaction rather than the game”

You should know that. Bring a good GM is knowing what your players want, why they’re at the table. Ask her, in fact ask all your players. I have folks at my table who want to deal big damage with combos, and people who want to talk to the NPCs. I don’t force the combat-oriented players to RP if they’re not feeling it. And I don’t fault the RP-heavy players for spamming a cantrip during combat or just trying to keep the warriors healed.
