You've got a few options:

Call her bluff and let her sue you.
Avoid a lawsuit entirely by paying what she's asking.
Negotiate some other middle-ground settlement.

A wise business person may be inclined to choose option C.

Does she owe you money?

"she wanted to have her house key mailed back to her. We mailed back her house key"

Many threaten to sue. Few follow through.

If this ends up in court your argument would be that this person requested you mail her house key back to her.

You did what she requested.
