I think maybe the trick is to get her to agree to a specific division of tasks so that you do ABC and she does XYZ. No vague ambiguities ("please contribute something" allows too much room for her to make excuses) and no more hints. Keep the details as concrete as possible so it's like a checklist and get her confirmation that 1) this is a fair division of work, 2) she understands what she needs to do or will ask for clarification when necessary and 3) a deadline for what these tasks will be completed that is preferably well before your actual deadline.

Set a date for a physical meeting to check your respective progress. Answer all complaints about no time and too busy blah blah blah with, "So what's your plan to deal with that?"

If this doesn't work out, you're going to have to make that call about whether or not to cut her loose and save yourself. This is not selfish. She's a slacker, and slackers shouldn't get a free ride off your work. Good luck!
