La -vs- Ella

We are on lesson 1 using Rosetta Stone Latin American Spanish and we have already encountered our first road block. When showing a picture of a small girl eating, we choose the phrase "La nina come." makes perfect sense. But in another photo that shows a teenage girl (does this matter?) we are shown the phrase "ella come."

After researching and trying to wade through some very ambiguous explanations from other similar questions, I am left to assume the following:

La nina come = The girl eats
Ella come = She eats

Correct?

Now, how would this translate for the masculine?

El nino come = The boy eats
_____ come = He eats

I cannot figure out what would be the proper pronoun for the masculine form of that sentence?

And yes, this is basic stuff, so please bear with me.
