the word "rape" mean anything to you? You've described a victim

Being a toxic employee of value, I can offer some insight here. Toxic
employees corrupt every future employee who walks in the door. We can
be likened to an abusive spouse. Our worth seems very high up front,
but what is our cost in the long run? We may excel in our area of
expertise, even to the point we seem irreplaceable. This broad is
probably costing you more in other areas than you realize.
We dealt with a lady like this at one of our sites we rent. Our
contract gives us 24x7 access. She refused to allow us on the property
if there wasnt a staff member present. Our customers (including this
landlord) didnt want outage during business hours. Yet they would have
to pay overtime for a staff member to be present after hours. We dont
pay enough in rent to cover this.
Luckily she ended up causing farmers to drop their grain contracts to
go elsewhere (where they got paid less for their yield) solely because
they got tired of dealing with her.
Look to see what you're losing by keeping this "invaluable" employee.
I'll bet you're losing more than you gain.

When you have a conversation with her, does she struggle to look
you in
the eye? Reason I ask is that she "might" be on the spectrum. Some of
the people on the spectrun can be amazingly detail oriented, and can
perform jobs that would bore a "normal" person out of their gourd.
They
can be ideally suited to detail-oriented work, but they can also have
limited social skills, and they can get really upset when
presented with
a change in plans.
