If she said”Do whatever he tells you”, then why don’t you? Jesus taught the disciples how to pray in the Lord’s prayer

Well, we certainly do that.

and there’s no praying to Mary, saints, angels, dead people or anyone else but God the Father

You just wrecked your own argument with the last one, unless you are prepared to argue that prayer to the Son or to the Holy Spirit is idolatrous. (And if prayer to the Son is idolatrous, then explain it to Stephen in Acts.)

Jesus is God, even so, we pray in “Jesus’ name”. You can’t wiggle out of that one, you act contrary to the words of Mary herself, let alone Christ’s.

It’s not idolatrous because Jesus is God himself.

Mary isn’t.

Embarrassing.
