Not that I am aware of, just as there is no messaging application that is compatible with iMessage. However, you and her both can download Skype and use that instead. As far as I know FaceTime is proprietary to Apple products.
There is also Google Hangouts but I find that interface to be stunningly nonintuitive. Don't forget too that if you both have Facebook Messenger installed you can video chat within that application as well

Yeah, it used to be integrated into the regular FB app but now it is separate. Apparently from what I see online you can use it without a FB account.

Skype.
Google Allo and Duo, available on iOS.
Kik has video chat but it's primary used for text chat
Messenger
Facebook Instant Messenger
Definitely a lot of options, but none communicate with iMessage.
Google Hangouts is another option.

Well in this case it would be FaceTime but it is correct that there is no mating Android application.

Oye, I'm an idiot. lol
I spent a lot of time trying to find a compatible messenger a while ago because I had Android and my with had iOS. There is a way, but they are not legit and I wouldn't trust them for anything.
Too bad Apple never released the needed info for someone to communicate with iMessage or FaceTime outside of Apple.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with using Google Duo and Allo to communicate between Android and iOS
My daughter has an iphone and I recently upgraded and decided to go with the Android platform this time. The app we have been using with no problems is Google Duo.
