Assuming she, herself, asked you to help with it…

I’ve taken some lessons on accent reduction; the woman who taught them mostly did dialect coaching for actors otherwise. Doesn’t matter - she is a speech therapist who understands why the sounds come out the way they do and how to change that.

Hiring a coach for this will certainly strengthen your relationship with her. 🙄

Does she want to change this or would this be something you are trying to force?
