AITA for refusing to babysit my older sister

I (15F) and my sister (19F) are both in the same theatre group for fun.

My sister has severe autism, and sometimes, she needs to be kept an eye on.

This teenage girl got a call from her angry dad.

Today, I wanted to hang out with some friends after.

She was invited to come, but refused and went home.

A while later, I received an angry phone call from our “father” (50M) because I wasn’t babysitting her and, instead, was hanging out with friends.

He said his opinion is all that matters.

He gave out for about 10 minutes, and then sent me to my room.

I asked my sister, and she said she didn’t care and just wanted to go home.

Then, my dad said, “I don’t care about what she thinks. It’s what I think about it.”

Which made no sense to me.

So, AITA?

She’s just a teen who wants to spend time with her friends.
