It explain pretty well in manga and anime. She's not his sister, but she's his niece. Her mother is Shoya's sister and her father is a Brazilian. Maria's MAL page also mentioned

Ishida's young niece who lives with Ishida and his family. Maria is half-Japanese from her mother's side and half-Brazilian from her father's side.

This is her father

Maria's father
