Can’t find the forced mate in 2 (white to move)

Hi there!

Urgent help!

This coach posted this puzzle on Twitter and said:

“Can you solve this in 2 minutes?”

Well, David… it’s been 24 HOURS STRAIGHT. I’m hallucinating chess pieces at this point. Every mate I find takes at least 3 moves. I can’t find the damn 2-move mate and I’m actually going crazy.

Grandmasters, puzzle gods, night owls, please save me.

What is the first move that leads to a 100% forced mate in 2 with zero escapes? White to move.
