Is the shift lever still in Drive, if so that's why the engine won't start. I wouldn't worry about the brake pedal unless it stays hard once the engine starts.

The brake part makes sense. But the car put itself into Park--probably when she released the seatbelt or opened the door. It was in park when she, and later I, tried to get it into N.
