I agree that the circuit below looks like a good way to go to manually
turn on the fan if you can drop a wire from the fan thermostat box to
your switch box. Run the hot on the black and color or tape the white
wire black to indicate it is switched so the next owner of your house
doesn't think it is a neutral.
You might want to use a mechanical timer switch if you are concerned
about forgetting to turn the fan off. Sample:
