IDK hat she is into, but here are a few ideas.

Home spa day or give each other makeovers. College DD and I did this. She's better at hair & makeup than I am, but it was fun.

We walk and take pictures of interesting roadside trash for our collage. This week we found a baby shoe, a birthday balloon and a little plastic Elmo.

A pet? Fish if you aren't interested in a less contained animal.

If she is artsy, try a new medium. Clay, jewelry making, Bob Ross kit. We even went back to childhood with finger painting and friendship bracelets.

You said you have an elderly relative in your home. Would she like to start genealogy or a family history?[/quote]

OP, again. These are great ideas!  Thanks. For the poster who said they don't understand why DL is so hard  -- it's like when I have a time period when I don't have to get up and go somewhere and follow a set schedule connected to the outside world, I get sluggish and feel quite blah.  This is hard for kids in every grade but in different ways.  Teenagers need to have lives beyond their home and immediate family.  I'm trying to get her to branch out but I'm facing the stereotypical grouchy teen attitude.[/quote]
