1 Letter Typo on Ticket Booked Via Etihad Guest - Complications?

Hi,

In a bit of a pickle. I have an AA ticket booked VIA Etihad Guest for my wife and I from OGG to DFW on April 17th.

It is my fault for noticing too late that my wife's name is misspelled (they put Lelle instead of Elle) and I reached out to both American and Etihad:

American told me to contact Etihad and they would be unable to help. Etihad attempted to request a name change but it was denied, and the only option they said would be to cancel the ticket and re-purchase it, however, there is no more award space left on that day and I have everything else booked already.

Am I just out of luck here and have to give in to buying a one-way ticket from OGG to DFW for my wife specifically due to this 1 character error that I did not catch?

Thank you so much!
