aren't they vs isn't she

Hi,

I am just wondering about which one to use after "Judy is a judge and Nina is a teacher". Is it, "aren't they?" or "isn't she (since both Judy and Nina are female)"

In addition to that, could someone let me know that my question sound natural? ( "am just wondering about which one to use after ..." )

Thanks in advance.

Hi, Aren't they is fine. The fact that they are both female does not matter here. If you said Judy is a judge and Nina is a teacher, isn't she?
