startup disk no longer available

If Disk Utility does not list your drive type and size info, then the drive has failed. You need to replace it. I believe the model you have only comes with an SSD, so if it has failed, then the replacement is potentially a problem.

So, are you sure there is no drive in Disk Utility? Try the following:

Internet/Network Recovery of El Capitan or Later on a Clean Disk

     If possible, back up your files before proceeding.

1. Restart the computer. Immediately, at or before the chime, hold down the (Command-Option-R) keys until a globe appears.
2. The Utility Menu will appear in from 5-20 minutes. Be patient.
3. Select Disk Utility and click on the Continue button.
4. When Disk Utility loads select the target drive (out-dented entry w/type and size) from the side list.
5. Click on the Erase button in Disk Utility's toolbar. A panel will drop down.
6. Set the partition scheme to GUID.
7. Set the Format type to APFS (SSDs, only if installing Mojave or Catalina ) or Mac OS Extended, (Journaled.)
8. Click on the Apply button, then click on the Done button when it activates.
9. Quit Disk Utility and return to the Utility Menu.
10. Select Install OS X and click on the Continue button.

You need a working Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection. The latter is preferable.
