Research shows there is almost no correlation between competing homework in high school (and NONE before that) and little, if any correlation between success in high school and success in life. Some people grow up at different times. When I was in high school you could have put a gun to my head and said do your homework. I would have said “pull the trigger”. Yeah, I might have had a bit of juvenile oppositional defiant syndrome. But I grew out of it, like all kids do, and I’m none the worse for having ignored boring, irrelevant busywork homework.

The only way to get her to do homework is for her to want to do it. Fint’s idea of a mentor who makes it fun isn’t a bad idea. Letting her chose her subjects more might work. But seriously, if you completely ignore her and make her sink or swim on her own, she will turn out better than if you hound her for homework. Which, you have probably noticed, doesn’t work anyway. She can out wait you no matter what the task. She can sit out any punishment. Someday she will be older and the deadline and punishment will have passed. Let her do her own thing and figure it out on her own.
