!Nb6? Even if you meant Nb7 or Nb5, then black Rxg8+ followed by white’s Rxg8+ is not mate in 2. I duplicated the ponies so it’s easier to see, even in this position is not mate !<
Whoops, I meant Nb5, and you’re right, I was mistaken.
Now that I’ve had some proper sleep: How about Nc8? Black can’t move the king, can’t use the rook to threaten white’s king, moving the pawn forward would expose Ra7#, and using the rook to capture would allow Rc8#
