Seems there are a couple of options to choose from, one involves Siri announcing calls & you can accept or not.


Apple Supports article: Announce calls, messages, and more with Siri on iPhone - Apple Support

says:

"Have Siri announce calls

With Announce Calls, Siri identifies incoming phone calls and FaceTime calls, which you can accept or decline using your voice.

  1. Go to Settings  > Siri > Announce Calls, then choose an option.
  2. When a call comes in, Siri identifies the caller, and asks if you want to answer the call.

Say “yes” to accept the call or “no” to decline it."

for how to: "End calls with Siri

You can have Siri end phone and FaceTime calls.

  1. Go to Settings  > Accessibility > Siri, tap Call Hangup, then turn on Call Hangup.
  2. Note: Available in select languages and on iPhone 11, iPhone SE (2nd generation), and later. Requires download of speech models.
  3. To end a call, say something like: “Siri, hang up.” (Participants on the call will hear you.)"

Or another option: you can: Route and automatically answer calls on iPhone - Apple Support

Eg: Above article says:

You can automatically direct the audio of phone or FaceTime calls to the iPhone speaker, a Bluetooth® headset, or your hearing device. iPhone can also automatically answer calls after a length of time you set.

  1. Go to Settings  > Accessibility > Touch > Call Audio Routing, then choose an audio destination.
  2. Tap Auto-Answer Calls, turn on Auto-Answer Calls, then set the duration of time before the call is answered by tapping or .


All the best :-)
