Worried About My Brother's Fasting Without Praying

My brother has been keeping his fasts but he doesn't pray at all. It's not like he's busy with work or anything - he's mostly free at home, but still doesn't make time for salah. I honestly don't understand this. I keep reminding him gently, but he just ignores me or changes the subject. I don't know what else I can do or how to convince him to at least start praying. What's the benefit of fasting if you're not establishing your prayers? Doesn't salah come first in our faith? I keep wondering if his fasts are even accepted without prayer, and that thought makes me really sad and worried for him. I just want him to understand how important this is, and it makes me feel so helpless.

It's really heartbreaking to see. The prayers are what give the fast its meaning, you know? I hope he realizes this soon.
