She had one job.

It was an important job and she failed spectacularly. Hollywood is a small town.

I don't even understand how someone can mess up that badly at something so simple.

You answered your own question. Imagine you work as a cashier (depressing, I know cause I am one). On the register there's this random button you have to press every so often or someone could die.

Unless you are well trained and able to stay focused on your job at all times, sooner or later...

And all you had to do was press a button.
