I gotta be real with you if I'm looking at this position as white my next move is hitting the resign button

Very curious to see what the answer is supposed to be

Drawing with white isn't hard. Just capture both black pawns while allowing getting your own stuff captured.

Winning is hard. I'd call it a study rather than a puzzle. I haven't solved it. I peeked at the stockfish line and there's a win, but even with that foreknowledge and the first few moves, it's not obvious. I will try to keep working on it.
