Nah, then the punch line gets muddied. Why does the second castaway now miss the sister? Is it because the first one brought it up?
By setting the scene of them being castaways the listener would more naturally attribute the missing-feeling to isolation as opposed to resource constraints.
Too easy to miss the punchline in the ambiguity. The original was fine.
