Pawn to f8 exchange for rook
Black king can only move to h6
Rook to h8
Edit
Lol, beaten to it
Because I’m an idiot I would always exchange the pawn for the queen, because it’s the most powerful piece, except it’s not in that situation.*
Claire beats me at chess every time.
*edit, it’s actually too powerful, if you think about it, which I didn’t.
Nope

Yep, sussed that and deleted nanoseconds before you posted.
Could still have been the Queen, Shirley ?

Nope, stalemate with queen, because upon exchanging to it you take away any move for black, without actually giving them the chance to move.
I think I’d have taken a few more moves than 2 & promoted the pawn to a Queen! That’d be the sadist in me. 
Yep, didn’t know that (stupid rule 
), so would seem that way.
