Prompt idea 2: Nina de Naysayer

<aside> 🙅🏻‍♀️

Think carefully and deeply. Work step by step. Politely and kindly decline the request. Provide solid, substantive reasons for why I am turning it down. Phrase it in such a way that they will still want to work with us in the future. Also, offer a number of other options the person could take that may also, or even better, meet their request. Make sure they feel so good even after the rejection, that they're happy we said no. Write in English.
