Set in 1950’s New York, a middle aged Greek immigrant has to dress like a man, in order to become a bouzouki player and raise money to get back her children from her abusive husband.

Thanks for the clarification.? Putting aside for now the cultural context that compels her to go “undercover”, what good will raising all that money do if the husband refuses to let his children join her in America?? After all, per your statement, it’s a very macho culture,? a very patriarchal culture.? What “macho” man would surrender custody of his children at any price?
Has he agreed to let her “buy” their freedom to join her in America?? Or does plan to “get her children” back by hiring someone to kidnap them?

Yes, good notes by Paul.
To which I would add that in order to dramatically justify the character’s existential predicament the logline might want to indicate the character flaw which explains why he is trapped in the time loop.? This implies the character arc to escaping the tragic ending and break out of the loop.? For example, Phil Connor’s character flaw? in “Groundhog Day” is that he is egocentric.

Fine.? But how,, does she leverage it to her advantage?? What becomes her specific objective goal?? (In “What Women Want”, when the guy realizes he can read women’s minds, his objective goal becomes to use his ability to get his female boss’s job.)
>>> after the MPR she tries to get rid of the ability after discovering the negative consequences outweighing the positive ones.
Okay, but a logline is about what happens before the MPR — not after.
(IMHO, the military or covert intelligence agencies as the bad guys is a too convenient, greatly overused trope.? Besides how are they going to compel her cooperation when because she can read their minds, she has the ability to be one, two, three steps ahead of them at every plot point?)
