Maybe. There's a set of rules in the IRS instruction booklet for determining whether you can claim someone as a dependent or not. Follow them, and if they say you can, then go ahead. (Basically, she would have to have lived with you the whole year, it would have to not be illegal under local law for her to live with you, and she would have to have made less than about $3500 last year... but read the instructions for the exact details.)
