If we assume 'Anta' here would mean 'Hey you!' and such, what would 'Anata' alternative be to make it work? "Dear" or "Darling" would fit, but would they be too intimate? Amusingly enough I just had the hide and seek daily.

It is "dear" or "darling", specifically for a married woman to call her husband. So yes, the implication is ito be intimate to begin with (in this joke).
