But there are a number of counters. Black would have to be asleep to not see that they’re 2 moves away from winning.
A straightforward Nf6 should suffice, though, I did also look at Qf6 just to satisfy my curiosity:

2. Rh3 and I see nothing but mates here no matter what black does.
1. N X f6 B X f6
2. Q X f6 g X f6
3. Rg3+
Nxf6+ Bxf6
Qxf6 gxf6
Rg3+ Kh8
