I dont remember the exact thread measurements on all the adapters, but they can all be found in a normal hardware store.

This is what we have installed on one of our sinks, our cat learned it in 30 seconds, dogs learned it after about 2 days. We've used it for about 5 years now, replaced the device once and replace batteries about once every 9-12 months or so. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000EJXR0M/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?qid=1425782354&sr=8-2&pi=AC_SY200_QL40&keywords=automatic+faucet&dpPl=1&dpID=5120H7BY79L&ref=plSrch

So I understand you want to shut the water off completely but why not just add something similar to this: http://www.amazon.com/iTouchless-Faucet-Automatic-Touch-Free-Adaptor/dp/B000EJXR0M
It will make your sink a touchless and it will shut off automatically after she's done.
You'll still be wasting water when she does it but I'm sure a few pennies worth of water isn't going to break the budget if you're already in the market for a solution to remotely shut the water off.
Or just replace the facuet completely with a touchless.
I personally like the idea of what the one guy posted but soldering isn't something everyone can do and adding on that is going to probably require a LOT more work because your sink (probably) doesn't have any/much exposed copper. It probably has just enough stubbing through your cabinet for the anglestop to be attached to. So you'd end up needing to route new lines inside your cabinet for that thing to attach to. It would get messy and probably a lot more costly unless you're able to do it yourself.

Like one of these?
They work because of the very transient need for power. The solenoids only have to operate occasionally, and are often of a magnetic latching type that only requires a short pulse of power to toggle between open and closed, just like a latching relay. In some cases the solar panel even charges up a capacitor while the faucet is not in use. See here.
Small indoor solar cells are exceeding flaky, the amount of power produced is highly variable and a lot of careful design is required to make devices which use them reliable, unless they are very low power devices. However, your typical Arduino board with highly inefficient linear voltage regulators, plus wifi or RF modules, are not really "low power" in the true sense of the word.

These are better. No cleaning or refilling.
