thanks for the advice,
I follow a pretty standard bro-split 5 days per week, but she's said she doesn't want to train that often,
I thought stronglifts as she can keep it fun through the progression and use the app to keep tabs on it,
Also... her doing squats three days per week is going to be beneficial for me, no?

There are a ton on instagram inspo bloggers who regularly post fun/interesting routines aimed at women, I recommend them because they are easy to bring up if you're stuck for something to do at the gym

I found when I did squats 3x a week I rarely had as bad DOMS as I did when it was following leg day

Yup :)

Well spotting people builds trust, no? ;)
If she wants to bring up a bodypart, it's a bit of a different ballgame. As in, my legs have always been quick growers, so it's my upper body that needs more attention.
For some squats don't built the glutes (behind) as much as deadlifts.I'd go for fun first, that stuff comes later once you know what you want. Any weights improves fitness.
As others said there's women fitness pages. They annoy me a bit (all this about resisting chocolate, feck off..) but there's lots of other women there so may work for her.
If she just wants to train with you for fun then any proper program works ^_^

Kettle bells or squat/deadlift/bench/rows...
...but I would ask her does she fancy anything. You can't beat fun in training, so if she saw anything she wants to try I'd focus on that :)
If not sure try a few things for 3 weeks in a row and see what she likes.
I get the impression often ppl stop training cos they don't enjoy it that much. So trick is to find your happy thing (heavy and kettle bells, or cardio s'gotta be a bicycle) and you'll do it :)
