I'm also of course a big fan of the twist timer switches, turn it on and forget about it because it will turn it's self off!
I looked at the idea of running another AC line up to that area,
but there was no easy way to snake a wire up inside the den wall
from the main house. Too much stuff in the way.

I have one of those twist timers running my bathroom exhaust fan,
and really like it. (After seeing them in hotels for 30 years)..
I think maybe I'll look for another 30 minute twist timer
for the fan in the kitchen too..
