You have to add the storage from her device (phone) and two-factor authentication can't be done across international boarders. That is, you can't log into her Google account in India and expect Google to send a code to her phone in USA. Once Google realizes the phone is nowhere near the computer used to attempt a login, it just fails immediately. Google doesn't like when someone is trying to snoop into someone else's account - even if you are trying to "help" your daughter. Transfer cash to your daughters account and let her pay.

I could log in to her account with her permission through her mobile and add my card. Still I get this error message. The solutions I tried based on information from their help doesn’t work. Is there any way to contact google support directly ( many years back I could). I mean somebody in support, not this AI based support.

The card must be from a bank in the same country as the device's cell service. Otherwise it is actually considered an "imported" service in some countries and there are tax (duty) consequences.
