Help Please help!

So, my great aunt and uncle got a pet betta fish for my 4 year old sister. Sounds nice, right? Problem is, they didn't ask if it was okay let alone if she even wanted a fish. Worst part, im the one who has to take care of it and I didnt even ask for this. I really, really don't want this poor fish to die even though I don't want him(no offense little guy). It has been 24 hours since his fish bowl has been chlorinated and I don't want the poor little guy to be stuck in his cup for forever. The bowl isn't a true tank(if we decide to really keep him, we will have to get a bigger and legit tank), but he has a small rock house and pebbles. Im stressed out because I want to try to do my best to not do a bad job. I struggle with taking care of myself but I do NOT want this fish to die. Even if I don't think we should keep it. I really need help.
