You may have a claim against your sister for defamation.  While you can sue your sister's employer, from what you've written it doesn't seem to me that you have much of a case, because it seems very unlikely that your sister's activities could be considered to be in the course of her employment.  If your sister continued  her activities on her employer's cell phone after you informed her employer about them, and it failed to take appropriate action to make sure the harassment stopped, that might be a different story.
