I don't think Ella is that old, but that's the writers' fault. Hook aged, Alice aged. So, even if Ella was 14, then she's 32 around the time of giving birth to Lucy because math. I just want to point out the math I did. Alice escaped the tower on her 17th birthday. She then had adventures in WL and other places and returned in time to meet Rumple right befor the ball. Henry meets Ella, escapes Lady Tremaine, and falls in love and marry Ella. They later have Lucy. Robin shows up a year later. This is at minimum 2 years (probably longer). Alice meets Robin on her unspecifeid birthday (at least 19th). The curse takes place roughly 7 years later and its been about 2 years since then. This would make Alice at least 28, which is older than she seems. More importanly, in would make Ella at least 44. I'm not arguing whether that's right or wrong (though it doesn't sound right). I'm just saying that if we agree that Ella and Alice aged the same then this is how old they would be.
