Well, given the timelines, your only option really is to try again to apply for the ESTA, this time with the correct information. It may or may not work, but any other option would take too long.
You should have applied for ESTA before buying the ticket, not in the very last minute.

Anyways, this thread doesn't belong here, probably in Information Desk. Have alerted a moderator.

Yeah lesson learned. I would need to apply for one when I firm my plans to fly into IAD.

A bigger question is why are you to apply for her ESTA? She should have done so herself. She is an adult, after all.
