Kxe1 appears to lead to a draw.

Kxe1 appears to lead to a draw. why only a draw?
black can then only wiggle his queen while white promotes the pawn and then takes the rook on d2 for mate
oops... those pawns are tiny when it's late at night
all those pieces are small...should've put it on a board

You have black playing Qa1 twice in a row which obviously isn't possible. The point of the problem is that white must force the queen to be on the wrong square via playing 2. h3 rather than 2. h4.
PS. Bad wolf engines are useless in this problem, they'll say it's a draw even when there is a clear mate in three.
