Every time I bought home a puppy my older ones would stay on high grounds (the sofa) it took the older ones appox 2 / 2 1/2 months to stay on the floor with the new kid. You have the puppy a bit over one month, your older one needs more time. My dogs were all 3 years apart. Puppies are very active love nippy and chasing the older ones.
Make sure your older one has a safe haven to get away from the puppy.
Make her first for everything, first to be fed, first to be greeted, first to get the treat.
Your older one will come around, she just needs time. Let her go to the puppy on her time, her terms, do not force her to go near the puppy.
Give your older one a bit more attention so she feels she has not been replaced.
You will see they will be BFF
