Qa8 is definitely the move. Magnus Carlsen figured this puzzle out in under 20 seconds during a live interview

Because the White Knight will move to c7 and deliver the checkmate.

As it was already said multiple times, Qa8 is mate in 2.

Stockfish finds it in a fraction of a second.

Stockfish does say its mate in two. Qa8 just puts black in complete zugswang. Its crazy how many legal moves black has but none of them actually stops mate!!!
