How about…
1. Rh1+ Rh2
2. Rh7+ now if 2…Rxh7
3. Rxh7+ Nxh7
4. g7#
But if 2… Nxh7 then
3. g7# because the black rook isn’t covering g7

1. Rxf6
1. Rh1+ Rh2
2. Rh7+ ..
Rh1+
Rxf6 would make black happy
1. Rh1 Rh2 2. Rh7 Rh7 3. Rh7 Nh7 4. g7; 2…Nh7 3. g7
1.Rh1+ Rh2
2.Rh7+ Nxh7(or Rxh7 same thing)
3.g7#
1.Rh1 Rh2
2.Rh7 Rxh7
3.Rxh7 Nxh7
4.g7#
Dear moderators, for a few weeks now, every time I try to post a comment, it does not go through. Do you have any ideas why?

White wins with Rh1+ because black has no defense against the mate threat
Rh1+ Rh2
Rh7+ Nxh7
g7#
1 Rh1! Rh2 (1…Nh6 2 Rh6 Kg8 3 Rb8mates) 2 Rh7! Rh7 3 g7 mate
