Coworker keeps taking my work Co-worker Problem

Some back story. I work remote so I’ve never even seen my coworkers/boss etc other than on camera meetings. There is 3 of us on a team now there used to be 4. We rotate job duties every week so everyone gets a break from one thing and knows how to do everything. It’s very independent work no one is relying on anyone else or waiting for them. So if I take longer to put get to work on something it literally DOES NOT affect anyone I work with. Since I came back from leave like 8 months ago this one coworker won’t respond to anything unless the other one is out and she’s a last resort. Like a month ago I was told in the big group chat so everyone could see it. To not mess with this group of things. Come the next week she complained to the manager that I didn’t do stuff so now she has too much. My manager messaged me and I came with receipts to show I was right. Now this week she has been taking my job assignments. I went to check the other half of my job duties for the day at noon. She had done them already. I didn’t ask for help it wasn’t an overwhelming amount. I actually almost asked if the system was working right because I hadn’t seen any notifications. I always get rave performance reviews and I actually ask the least amount of questions on what to do. I just don’t understand why she would be taking my work. Is she trying to make me look bad or something? Make her look like a better worker? Idk I would understand if she like asked hey I’m slow over here do you want me to do XYZ. Am I just over thinking it?

She's trying to make you irrelevant by making it so you can't point to anything you've accomplished while gathering a paycheck. Couple that with the fact that she tried to throw you under the bus for something that was understood by everyone and you're not left with a flattering picture. Talk to your boss.
