Can "Esta" mean "he" or "she"?
I have the following, and am interested in the use of "Esta" in the bolded parts. It seems to be used like the words "ella/él". Is that right? :
—¿Estas mejor, Nina? —preguntó María, la madre de Marcelina, que había entrado en el camarote en ese momento. Esta le respondió con un murmullo. —Debería tomar el aire, señora —dijo Ana—. Le vendrá bien para adecuarse. Además, hay un día fabuloso. —Tienes razón, Ana. Nina, cariño, ¿serás capaz de levantarte? Tu padre está en la cubierta con unos compatriotas que comparten destino con nosotros. Esta torció el cuello hacia dónde se encontraba su madre.
