Ok, just don't visit her home if you lose an engine or something : )
Going back to the subject, this is still a simple brake issue, and I don't even think your rotors are warped. I wish you had a set of race pads handy. You could just use them daily for a while, so they could scrub the deposits when they're cold and hard (they'd not get soft enough by just daily driving), so they could clean up your rotors for you. Once cleaned up, you could then switch back, and bed in your stock pads again.

Makes sense. The OEM iron rotors are not directional, which is a big factor in cooling capacity. I think you could easily mitigate the issue by switching to DBA rings or something similar. The directional tittie cool much faster. In my tests at the track with temp paint, it was in order of hundreds of degrees.

He could just have the rotors turned. No race pads needed. The problem would be solved either short term or long term. Again, my Chevy dealership did this for free for me.

Guys, Even if he paid to have the rotors cut for $200, it would be worth it, instead of spending $1500 for a set of rotors or rotor rings. If this didn't work, then only about $200(labor) is wasted instead if spending $1500 upfront. If cars required brake rotors for every brake pad swap, then we wouldn't have brake lathes at every corner garage in America.
