I feel so sorry for this animal.. (Advice please)

I've got a very simple solution: just give the gecko away. Period. Once you do all hell will may break loose "your a bad brother! How dare you save that animal from improper care!" Or something of that sorts. I have the same experience at my work from time to time (doing others chores) and it's not fair for you to have to do extra. I get that like what was mentioned above, it is easy to just feed and water it since it's a leopard gecko after all, but you didn't sign up to take care of someone else's animal.
Just give it away or take it back to the store. Lie and say it died and you buried it so she wouldn't have to see her pet dead. This way it doesn't happen in the future (in my experience it will happen again) and she doesn't get another pet without planning to care for it.

I would not remove/rehome the animal and tell your sister it died, as your parents likely will just get another one and you'll be back to the same problem.

I keep a feeding log on all my snakes. Keep one on the gecko and note who fed it - you vs your sister. Show your parents in a few months that you're the one doing all the work for it.

I change what I said to this. The reason I disagreed with the others is because there was no proof and I didn't think your parents would believe it. but this is actually a good idea
