I would not play the money card. I think that that’s a bad precedent. It smacks of buying a person’s privacy/free will. She may decide to show you her essays after all. My friend’s kid eventually showed me an essay about HER that he didn’t feel comfortable sharing until he had worked with me a bit. Later, he showed it to her.
