Assuming you can remote into her laptop. Setup the vpn on it, set up a portforward rule to point back to your jellyfin over the vpn, set the roku to connect to the laptop.

Although technically possible - I can't imagine trying to troubleshoot that remotely. Or explaining that she can't watch Escape to the Country because her laptop battery died.

The alternative is to preconfig a mini pc and ship it to her have her plug it in and forget about it.

Or you could setup a proxy service and allow list her ip address block. Many ways to acheive remote access without much fuss from non techinals.
