I feel like I say Don slightly quicker than dawn.

Like just maybe a slight bit longer on the aw sound in dawn.

Shouldn't your issue be with TC even asking the question in the first place, now that we've established that accents exists, thus making the premise of the topic unsolvable?

No.
Just answer how you say it.
Relax, man. You're thinking way to much about this one.

Ah vs aw sounds
If I were an hour or so more north or west, I would say them the same way.

yeah i am inclined to agree. there is an objective similarity but objectivity is just what you get when you have every subjectivity responding to the same thing.

anyway, imagine you have a sideways pencil in your mouth. Don goes over the pencil and Dawn goes under it.
