Actually, what she's feeling is Envy, Jealousy is feeling like something you already have is under threat, whereas Envy is wanting something that you can't have.
That's an interesting distinction that I can see being useful, but I don't think those words actually are distinct that way in either dictionary definitions or usage.
Webster's New World: Envy- desire for something another has. Jealousy- resentfully suspicious of rivalry. They are distinct concepts as the first party stated. We must adhere to definitions or words become Newspeak.
