white to move, mate in 2 (hard to solve)

There is no proof that black's last move was h7-h5.
True, but in such puzzles you can do whatever you like unless it can be proven impossible.
Looks like a crazyhouse game, and not a regular chess game... It can not be from a regular chess game because white has too many pieces on the board. 3 bishops 3 knights 3 rooks 2 queens 1 king 5 pawns (17 instead of 16)

If it's crazy house I'm dropping a rook, or queen on a7 then playing Nc7... or dropping a knight on c7, and playing Nc7.

Depends on what I have in stock, I bet white has at least a rook, knight, or queen in inventory if this is crazyhouse because that h8 knight looks a bit under promoted.
If anyone has a non crazyhouse solution post it or message me it
I remember some mate in two problem with black king on e8, black rooks at a8 and h8 and adjacent black and white pawns on the 5th row. According to the last black move there was a different solution.
spoiler Alert!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

isnt it e8= N and black cant stop mate via Nc7#
