Answer "hi" back, my job here is done, and ignore until next task I'm working on is complete. You're on my schedule now buddy. Bonus points for answering out of their time zone's working hours to see if the next day they start with Hey again.

I never thought of that last part but I like it lol. I have a lot of international people who do this most and it would be perfect. Though some of them seem to wake up while I’m on, so this might backfire on me one day.

I currently just ignore these messages. Some never take the hint and keep trying.
