Since it is a 35mm camera the film still in the cassette should be good if there is any left. Close the back and advance the film. But don't open it again until the film is rewound.
Just a thought.

She had to run all the way through to make sure.
How many of us old guys tried to push the film advance lever to feel the resistance of loaded film on our replacement digital cameras?

I've seen that type of thing in movies and on TV several times. I hope it never happened in real life.

It did happen. Often. Especially after, "I wonder if there is film in this..."

Who hasn't done dumb things...I still do. Shooting a football game and 7D MKII dies....what the hell. Check lens, switch out batteries, still NG. All of a sudden I notice that the battery grip loosened up. Who knew....still doing dumb things.

I don’t recall there being a film advance lever on perhaps 100% of digital cameras. I get your reference though. Sort of like how many eggs can a rooster lay.

I don’t see that as dumb. You noticed a problem and did a checklist to fix the problem.

Right after switching to BBF on my Nikon D800 I didn’t use the camera for a few weeks. When I picked it up again I darn near lost a couple of marbles because pushing down on the shutter release button did nothing. It was only after putting the camera down and getting a cup of hot java that I remembered I had switched to BBF. Problem solved.

Or do peacocks lay eggs?
Actually, when I loaded a film camera, I always made sure that there was film going into the take up reel. As a double check, I would give a gentle tug at the advance lever. I could tell by the resistance that I was ready to shoot. Some photographers would try a shot, of anything, to check their camera. We would also keep a thumb or an eye on the rewind lever. After doing this for decades, it did become the proverbial second sense habit. I even now find myself every once in a while, moving my thumbs to the "old positions", without the expected tactile result. Now, it is "right thumb on the AE button".
Oh yes, I have shot a many phantom photos! (Often because the film lead was not "hooked".)
ANS: No. The PeaHENs do.
