Accessibility config for blind people in the fishing minigame - PC & Mobile

My girlfriend loves stardew valley but she has almost no vision at all. She has monocular vision, congenital glaucoma and 22 degrees of myopia, so she can't see very well and minigames that require visual agility stresses her a lot. I think it would be great to have an accessibility option to skip the minigame or make it different so it isn't so stressful to her

The minigame should be like that: something that relies on reacting on beep sounds
There are different sounds for when the fish leaves the fishing bar, so you can tell if the bar is too high or too low. So it's already in the game, though it may need some tweaking.

Make sure you load up on all the accessibility addons - trap bobber, barbed hook, auto-hook enchantment, deluxe bait, cork bobber, fishing skill buffs from food, and don't forget to level up using crab ponds and fish ponds before you fish with the rod. Put together enough of these bonuses and the mini game is basically bypassed - Salmence demonstrated catching an octopus with no manual input during the catch portion of the mini game.
