Generate a Polite Email Declining a Meeting and Proposing an Alternative
The invite landed on top of something you already cannot move, and the reply has been sitting in drafts for two days because you keep over-explaining. This writes a short, warm decline with one concrete alternative attached, so you can send it and get back to your actual calendar.
