Not likely. On day of flight you can book her refundable ticket (would recommend United miles or sw) under her name.  Use that to get thru security. Use your ticket to board plane. They never id unless to check in a bag.

Only works for domestic. Always a bit of a gamble to try this - if you get caught can be a mess.
