Exegesis
Amnon’s reply introduces the direct object marker ’et {אֶת־ | ’et} before Tāmār {תָּמָ֗ר | Tāmār}, and the construct chain ’ăḥôt Aḇšālōm ’āḥî {אֲחוֹת אַבְשָׁלֹם אָחִי | ’ăḥôt ’Aḇšālōm ’āḥî} defines the familial relation.
In context — 2 Samuel 13:4
And he said to him, "Why are you so weak , O son of the king, morning after morning ? Will you not tell me?" And Amnon said to him, "I love Tamar, the sister of Absalom my brother."
