Try handfeeding her for a while (of the wet food, in very small quantities) until she gets accustomed eating from her bowl. I did that before to one of my cats who did not like wet food. It was time consuming but it worked.

Have you tried different textures? I was convinced my cat wouldn't touch wet food until I switched up the texture. Find a wet food in the flavor your cat prefers, then experiment with shreds, chunks, pate, mousse. I noticed my cat would only lick the gravy out of these Fancy Feast broths I got for her, so I tried blending her food smooth to see if she'd eat it all. That worked great - we now feed her a mousse-type food from Tiki Cat and make it soupy with a bit of water.

Another thing you might try to get your cat used to wet food is wet treats - Inaba Churu makes some that kitties love. Tiki Cat and Nulo make similar products but my cat really loves the Inaba ones.

She sniffs at it, and walks away.
Spoiled.
I'll look for soft food to try.
