Rana,
I think Michael put that pretty well. Excuse yourself towards her telling her due to temporary stress related hearing difficulties/hormonal imbalances/grave family problems causing a typing tremor you can't concentrate on YOUR OWN work without being left in total silence - and plug in those silent earphones. Means, logically, if you can't work you will be fired, and that for sure is not what that darling wants, does she?
It is not your job to teach her basic office skills, or are you her instructor as well? She should let you alone and let you do your work.
Somehow I can't get rid of the feeling that she is playing games and trying to scheme until she has the power to pit the colleagues against each other. This might mean a you or her decision in the end.
If possible, talk to your boss(es). They would not want to miss your proven collaboration. At least that's how it should be.
