Indirect object doubts

I am preparing a lesson about indirect objects for the first time. I am planning to start the class with the following question, " Do you want me to draw a flower?", however I am doubting whether, "me" is an indirect object in this sentence because it does not answer, "to whom" or "for whom". Instead, the sentence should probably read, "Do you want me to draw YOU a flower?", right?
