Remember that Italian possessives must agree in number and gender with the nouns they modify. "Sister" is feminine and singular, therefore the possessive will also have to be feminine and singular.

Italian English About this Expression
I TALI ANPOD101.COM MUS T-KNOW I TALI AN S OCI AL MEDI A PHRAS ES S 1 #3 - PLAYI NG S PORTS 4
Solo una partitina Just a round
This is an informal expression meaning "match, round, game." The Italian word used for "match" here is a modified noun. The suffix tells you that it's something small, so you could translate it literally as "little game." Modified nouns are very common in social media.
a beach volley con gli amici
of beach volleyball with my friends
In Italian, some sports keep the English names, but sometimes they are shortened. So it's "beach volley" instead of "beach volleyball." Another example is basketball, which in Italian can be simply "basket."

Vi piace Do you like
This phrase literally means "it's pleasing to you." In Italian, the verb meaning "to like" is always in the third person (either singular or plural), as the subject is the object, not the person who likes it. You can use this phrase anytime you want to address a similar question to your friends.
questa canzone?
this song?
Notice how the tone of the voice raises when you ask a question in Italian. The order of the words doesn't usually change.

In English, the pronoun "you" can be both singular and plural. In Italian, on the other hand, there are two different pronouns. In this expression, the meaning is "introducing to you (plural)."

In English, you can't use the article before a possessive, but in Italian you usually have to. So here we have article + possessive + noun.
