I think the problem is more the guns than the cartridge. By the time you get down to a pistol sized to take advantage of the .380 ACP, the sight radius is rather small and the sights themselves are typically pretty lousy.

I hope they come out with a 9mm in the EZ platform. I don't want to get into .380 reloading either. I reload almost everything I shoot.

Just suck it up and show her the 380EZ, even if it's only a stopgap between now and whenever she grows confident-enough to operate something more conventional.
Also, side note, I frequently see a lot of shooters have problems because they're being too gentle in their manipulation.
