I would probably suggest Frankfurt, as there is more time to connect at both transfer airports in this case. FRA also provides some evening options to fly to US, in case original transatlantic flight is missed.
If flight from ACC is very late, Turkish might probably be willing to rebook her on their own direct LAX flight, if it is not full.
If possible, try to teach the girl the IST terminal map, locations of "short connections" points, etc.
