Your daughter is NOT providing value to the company. Instagram and Twitter followers are not a metric that mean anything in real life. Internships are valuable to the interns for experience and connections. So you've got this whole set up twisted from the jump. They don't owe her anything- she's a high schooler who got a good opportunity to prove she's a capable professional.

If this was planned, she should have told them UP FRONT "I will need the week of July 10 off. I hope that is okay but understand if not." Then they could either let her know it was or you could have rearranged your vacation if necessary. When our teen son got a lifeguarding job we told him to make sure his supervisor knew as soon as he offered the job that we had a vacation planned one week. The week before r worked extra double shifts to make up for that missing time.

74 other kids would have loved this internship and probably would have appreciated the experience and resume building. You and your daughter evidently do not. And that's a shame. [/quote]
