AITAH for not making dinner for my sister after she came home from work?

I know what it sounds like, but hear me out.

My sister works in the afternoons until 10 pm. My family and I usually have dinner at 9:30 pm, so by the time my sister comes from work, her meal is ready.

There was one time where our parents went on a trip and I started making dinner at 10:20 pm, which was the exact moment my sister arrived home. I didn't want her food to be cold, that's why I did it so late, but she still got angry that I hadn't been considerate enough to start making it earlier so she wouldn't have to wait the 10 minutes needed to fry the chicken. I apologized but she still refused to eat what I prepared for her.

The next following days, she kept sending me passive agressive messages like "Will I have my dinner ready tonight?" which was pretty annoying. It felt like she was rubbing my mistake in my face or something.

A few days ago my parents went out to a concert, so they didn't eat anything. I had eaten lunch at 5 pm that day because I had arrived home later than usual, so I wasn't hungry enough to make dinner for myself. That day there had been some leftovers from lunch, and we usually eat said leftovers in the evening, so I figured that's what she'd be eating.

Welp, guess who got angry that I didn't make her anything? Yup, my sister. She said she wasn't surprised I hadn't prepared any food and she didn't believe me when I told her I wasn't hungry due to how late I ate. Then she accused me of being inconsiderate and how I hadn't made any food just because I didn't want to cook for her.

So, AITAH for not making anything for my sister?
