And a bit misleading 🙂 Since White cannot do this in 5 moves the only possibility would be:
1.Nf(h3) h6!! 2.Ng5 hg 3. g3(g4) Rxh2 4.Bh3 Rxh3 5. a4 (g4) Rxh1 #

Yes, it is Black who mates.
Sorry for any confusion.
Note the the last move is not a capture.

That was a tough one! My girlfriend saw the idea of Bxb7, and I finished it from there...
