Since you're comfortable with Javascript, then tic-80 can be an alternative. https://tic80.com/ But pico-8 has more resources. I also enjoyed the tutorials in the Get Coding books. https://getcodingkids.com/
I recommend the Mu code editor because it's simple but has better UI than IDLE. But if they aren't going to be intimidated by its complexity, VS Code is good too. It sounds silly, but having a cool hacker-y looking IDE with colorful syntax highlighting does motivate people to code.
Also, a recommendation that is a little more Niche. Lua, and love. love2d.org is a really easy to make games with a relatively simple programming language. Could be fun.
What's really great about Dart is that it is of course the language used by Google's multiplatform UI framework Flutter. Once she's past the beginner stage your sister could literally make an app that would run on her phone. That seems like a very motivating goal.
If you're willing to pick up another language, I actually think Dart is the best overall programming language for young beginners. It's very streamlined and well thought-out. It doesn't have all of the complexities of languages like C# and Java, but it still has everything you'd want for application development.
Asynchronous programming allows you to make two lines of code run at the same in the background instead of line by line, I had a tough time understanding it at first but this Microsoft article really helped me to understand, it’s for c# but the first lines gives examples to understand the basic principle of asynchronous programming, without referring to any code. Also if you have questions like that I recommend asking chat gpt as it can provide precise explanations with examples of code and develop the points you didn’t understand
I would start with Python or HTML because they are useful and beginner friendly. She might like a fun and aesthetic atmosphere to code in too like https://www.codedex.io. Much luck and love!
