I would recommend starting by reading through this website for ideas for additional enrichment: https://indoorpet.osu.edu/cats . My first guess is that she's bored and wants some attention in the evenings. Getting another cat is a bit risky - it could be great, or Sassy could absolutely hate the newcomer leading to a whole need set of problems.
