Did I give too personal of an answer in interview?

Had a prerecorded screen for a BB summer intern position today. Last question was "tell us something about yourself that isn't on your resume.

I wasn't sure how to answer this. I said that I grew up with a sibling with a severe disability, and that the experience taught me to learn personal responsibility & multitasking from a young age by caring for him while handling school, and that I hope to treat my coworkers like family and look out for them if they struggle.

Was this too personal? Starting to think I should have just said a hobby I have or something.

Lmao bruh it's a prerecorded screen, it's probably a robot listening to it, An1, or HR. It's not going to hurt you, dude. They probably got 30k plus screens for the internship position, you definitely didn't share the most personal thing. When you wait around for a month and you don't hear back, the reason won't be because your story was too personal.

If I got that response as a human interviewer it would have been a huge plus in my book. Shows integrity and early signs of responsibility for someone depending on you. Good signs of leadership and character/fitness.
