"hey can you do this evening"
You: “Do what?”
And then verbally bat her around a little, just a hint on the playful side, like a cat batting around mouse. Make her work for it. If she gets mad, then “See ya”.
If she recognizes what you’re doing and submits to it and takes it well and she pledges to come through this time, then you decide whether she’s worth another chance or not.
Sometimes it’s effective to convey a stern message couched in a bit of playfulness, but not everyone can pull that off. Regardless of the method, she should be made to know that she’s on thin ice, that your patience is exhausted, and if you decide to see her it is definitely on a probationary basis. Don’t say that directly, but convey it through implication.
