I taught undergraduates when I was in graduate school and my rule of thumb was always 24 hours (or 48 on the weekends). I don't think that anyone can be so mad at you if you respond within 24 hours.. and I think that's a perfectly acceptable time frame

Her email is so I agree with you but that’s not how my world works.
