Question tags beginning with 'this'?

Post by Metathron »

Hi all,

My colleagues and I disagree on what the correct solution to this question tag should be.

This is your little granddaughter Sarah, _________?

I say it should be 'isn't it', but they say 'isn't she' is also correct.

What do folks here think?
