Give her your work and just review it?

I don’t understand, does she report to you or Vice versa? She can’t read your mind so you have to set boundaries and specific instructions “if something is not due that day, and you have questions , save them for the next day at our touchpoint”. Anyways you don’t have to respond at 7.
I had an analyst who would constantly ping me to see what I was working on. It was very annoying and then I realized they were insecure about not having enough work and just wanted to know what was going on. Not sure if that’s the case here but I agree with SM1 that you could just give her the work. If you ask her to do something every time she pings you I guarantee she’ll stop this annoying habit. Or set yourself as do not disturb after 6PM and she may get the hint on her own.

That is so frustrating. Wonder why she’s so intense. Maybe she’s trying to make a good impression and it’s backfiring? can you make yourself look offline at night? With certain deliverables, it might help to change you phrasing from I’m working on this tonight to I’ll have it done tomorrow. I started doing that with certain team members and it helped but they weren’t intense. They were just wondering if they needed to log back on after hours and since i don’t like people to do that, i give them mental space to check out on things by making it seem like there isn’t anything for them to do.
I think it’s exactly as you mentioned C1 - she’s someone who thrives with having work to do and I think she feels insecure if somehow i end up working on things later than her. She doesn’t report to me, we both are on a project and report to the project lead. I’m just worried if I give her too much to do, it’ll look like I’m doing nothing in front of my PL. I think I’m just going to tell her less about what my work plan is, to ease her concern about not having enough to do/putting her name on everything. It’s high key irritating but there’s got to be a solution

That and you can always change your status so she leaves you alone - if there is a point in the day it becomes particularly annoying (you mentioned 7pm), maybe put your status as away or offline at 6 even if you are working so she doesn't ping you.
Why are you online after 7pm? I set strict no work hours
