There are some situations were ES would be OK in this phrase. Without a context, we are lost here. Does teh sentences mean she is a widow? Or does it mean that for the next five minutes her 10 kids are playing outside? Using estar means the later; using SER may imply the former.

I'm sorry Talca, but I've never heard "Mi tia ES sola", that is not grammatically correct. Sola is considered a state not a caracteristic, so the proper use is with estar, the context is not relevant here. You would say, "mi tia vive sola" if you want to changr the meaning.

If "Mi tia esta sola" is the answer, why do the dictionary hints say "Mi tia esta a si misma?"
