My boss and major stakeholder (and CEO) in the business that I work as an engineer is pretty much busy all the time.
In the USA where she is mainly based, she has an employee that holds the position of personal executive assistant to CEO and assists her in several personal situations as well.
The company is pretty small (< 40 employees worldwide) and the CEO being pretty much busy, she many times asks us in the office in Greece to help her in personal situations, while it is not our job description (examples are taking her personal car to the car dealership). Actually, she does not ask for help as a favor, but she actually demands one of us (whoever is less busy in the actual work) to be available for her personal business task.
How you would advise to handle situations like that without insulting her?

just do it unless it's demeaning, she pays you, pushing back on this while contemplating refusing to use software because it may not be licenced properly (yesterdays question) is starting to stack up.
