What do you do when your inexperienced insta buddy is set up for Air2.

It's a long story about why it did not happen, which I am not going to share, given your attitude.
I'm guessing you've never been on a Key largo cattle boat.

I've never been on a dive boat that is so crowded I can't do a proper buddy check.

You make it sound like you were on a NYC subway during rush hour.

I dive nearly every dive with a lawyer...

That’s only because she cant say anything or write anything that will get you in trouble while she is underwater?

Very simple. Don't dive with anyone you are uncomfortable with. I prefer to dive solo anyway. Unless the op requires you to dive with a buddy. Then you find another op. That's part of every plan.
Call the op to see if they require you to dive with a buddy or follow a DM. No? Great! Book me for XXX.
You do? Bye. Hang up.
