The Punnett square for this cross would be:

| A   | a
    ----|-----|----
     a   | Aa  | aa
    ----|-----|----
     a   | Aa  | aa

Therefore, there is a 50% chance that the offspring will inherit the albino allele from the carrier female and a 50% chance that they will inherit the albino allele from the albino male. This results in a 50% chance that the offspring will be albino.
