Is Zakat al-Fitr obligatory upon an unmarried working sister who has an income and lives with her father who also has a monthly income?

al-Fitr is obligatory upon the man and upon those whose maintenance is his responsibility. If the sister earns enough to suffice her needs, her maintenance obligation falls away from her father, and Zakat becomes obligatory upon her from her own wealth. However, if the father pays it on her behalf, it is sufficient for her.
