あいよ might be [male] which はいよ decidedly isn't, so maybe better kept separately?

26 hits just the past 30 minutes on twitter, so I've got to say the ngram number is oddly low.

"「はいよ」は「はい」の意味です。「よ」自体に意味はないですが、付く事で軽い感じを表しています。"

bilingual informant suggested "okey-dokey"
  Comments:
Probably worth having because it's not like はい is usually used together with any other sentence-ending particle (はいね, はい
ぞ, はいな, or whatever)
