Is there an app or any other method I could use to trace the caller?

Depends if they are spoofing a number, or withholding caller ID or not. She could use the Truecaller app instead of the standard Google Dialler and block the person. Alternatively text their number to 7726 (which spells spam)

My Mother had the Truecaller installed by default on her Wileyfox Swift 2

I never answer my phone if the caller number is unknown and not in my contacts on assumption if it is something important and legitimate they will leave a voicemail
Have found the spam / cold calling type companies never leave a voicemail !!!
If it is more sinister type calls then would report to your network provider / police

Go to the play store and type in call blocker. There are many apps that can do that. Once you open the app you can either block a specific number or just block all private numbers. If they try to call you, it will just cut off on their end. Doesn't matter how many times they try to ring. The call won't ring
