Does "姐" have to mean older sister? Or can it be used as a general word for "sister?"

Obviously wrong
Explanation is not enough
Written in a language I can't understand
Answer is not related to the question
Other reason
- Simplified Chinese (China)
1. Old sister。比自己年纪大的。比自己年纪小的称“妹”。2. 有名气的女性。比如“京城一姐”，这里忽略比自己年纪的大小。

You can use "姐" to call your biological older sister.
Or a woman older than you but not your biological sister.(to make it sound closer).We usually put her family name before"姐" in this case，like 王姐，刘姐
But sometimes when a woman looks younger than you，and you amire her(maybe she has great abilities in some areas)you can also call her"姐",too.(But if she's younger than you so much do not call "姐", she will get mad at you.)
