At the very least flatly refuse it. Doesn't have to be ultra polite, and you don't have to make excuses, but saying "I'm not going to do this, find someone else" is a lot more responsible than never getting back to someone.

I've tried that, but they keep insisting. And not making a good case for themselves with it. (See explanation above.)

Say no. Ignore their insisting. You don't owe them anything - not fic betaing, not excuses or explanations, nothing.

Think of this as good practice for you in setting boundaries and saying 'no' to people, because this won't be the first time someone's going to try to get you to do something you don't want to do.

So? They can keep insisting until the heat death of the sun, just keep telling them no and that the discussion is closed and you're not going to respond to any further requests. Then do just that.

When you let someone bully you into doing something, they learn that you are the kind of person who caves in as long as they pester you hard enough. You're teaching them to keep pressuring you. She can't force you to beta the fic, so don't.
