How to set boundaries with a coworker

The situation

A coworker keeps Slacking you after hours expecting instant replies.

The goal

Set a clear boundary with a coworker who keeps overstepping.

Draft (the wrong way)

Hey um I noticed you keep messaging me late, I'll try to reply when I can I guess.

Parse-optimized draft

Quick note on hours: I'm offline after 6pm and on weekends unless something is genuinely on fire. I'll always reply first thing the next working morning. If it's urgent, please flag it in the escalation channel so the on-call sees it.
