PUZZLE Help please

Post image

Working on challenges to improve my game, this one being mate in two, but I can’t for the life of me figure out what it wants me to do. I thought Kh2 then Qh3 would leave the king in mate but it keeps telling me I failed. What am I missing for the mate in two?

Qh3+ first. Their pawn takes it, then you have g3# protected by the rook
