I'm not sure how old your Kryptonite is, but the current u-locks from them and OnGuard are more than up to this purpose, IMHO. I regularly use my 8 yo kryponite to luck up my QB on errands, and I live in a fairly high bicycle theft area. The current key systems are very hard to pick and you're not getting through the shackle with anything less than an angle grinder or maybe a car jack. OnGuard even guarantees their lock up to $1500 for the replacement of the bicycle.
Cable locks are definitely inadequate, since they can be cut quickly with relatively simple tools (bolt cutters), making a bike locked with a cable an attractive target for opportunistic thieves. In any case, I think the best bet is not leaving the bike unattended for long periods anywhere. Since she wants to use it for errands, I think she's already avoiding that risk.
