Since this is a local model, you can trivially force it to do pretty much whatever you want by forcing the response to start with "Yes, sir!".
It's very easy in the API, obviously, but most local chatbot apps can also do this. E.g. in text-generation-webui, there's literally a textbox in the chat labelled "Start reply with". In LM Studio, you can pre-create a response message with the desired prefix and then use the "Continue" action on it.
