Any advise would be lovely

Yep. Don’t try to force her to be affectionate. Just be around, and be non-threatening, annd mostly ignore her, and be the source of food, and soon she will grow to trust you.

No sudden movements. No loud noises. Allow them to come to you. Pet them gently. Accept your fate, resistance is futile.
