Drush site aliases not working as expected

Using drush 11 and Drupal 9 to test a local site on my Mac (using MAMP), I’m having difficulty getting site aliases to work. I used Drush Launcher to make my drush executable globally. I also created <DRUPAL_ROOT>/drush/sites/self.site.yml containing:

local:   host: www.en9-local.pglatz.com   user: pglatz   root: /Users/pglatz/dev/electronovelty/en9-www/web   uri: https://en9-local.pglatz.com

If I cd to my project root and type drush wd-show I see the status command correctly. But if I try using my alias with it, i.e. drush @local wd-show I get this error:

ssh: connect to host www.en9-local.pglatz.com port 22: Connection refused  In SiteProcess.php line 214:                                                                                                                                                                                The command "ssh -t -o PasswordAuthentication=no pglatz@www.en9-local.pglatz.com 'drush wd-show --uri=https://www.en9-local.pglatz.com --root=/Users/pglatz/dev/electron     ovelty/en9-www/web'" failed.

This is a local host, so why is it using ssh? My goal is to have both ‘local’ and ‘prod’ aliases so can can run Drush on my production server.
