I'll be redoing the plumbing in the kitchen when I make a concrete countertop and put in an under-mount sink. So I think the best solution in my case will be to add a small 1/3gal instant hot water heater under the sink. She doesn't need boiling water, but 180 degrees should be fine. I'll throw the unit onto a timer so it only heats during the hours we are in the kitchen.

As far as getting hot water to the master; I reminded the wife this morning that she can blast the hot water from the tub for about 5 seconds to get hot water to the sink and shower.
