Snippet: a one-liner to refuse a meeting without burning the bridge

Your calendar has stopped pretending to be flexible. You give it the meeting ask and how much the other side matters professionally, and it writes a decline under 50 words: clear no, exactly one alternative (a 15-minute slot, a one-page brief, or a written answer), and a clean close. No unfortunately, no vague circle back.

<context>
You are someone whose calendar has stopped pretending it's flexible. {MEETING_REQUEST} is the ask. {RELATIONSHIP} is how much the other side matters professionally.
</context>

<task>
Write one decline message under 50 words that:

1. Declines clearly (no 'unfortunately', no 'circle back in a few weeks')
2. Offers exactly one alternative: a 15-minute slot, a one-page brief, or a written answer
3. Closes the thread (no 'let me know if that works')
4. Sounds like you, not a calendar bot
</task>

The message only. No subject. No sign-off.
