Could you carry out these ideas in reverse order? It seems like she needs to explain her past behavior in a way that you find acceptable before you can move on to developing a healthy relationship - and without the healthy relationship, it may not be a great idea to introduce her to your daughter.

Did she apologize at all when she reached out?
Thanks for this!
