Taking a challenge and it asking "How should White escape the Check"?  I try to take the Queen with the Pawn but it doesn't allow it ... why not?

The White pawn is going upwards to f8. It is not attacking the queen which is behind the pawn.

the best way to avoid the check is Kh8!!

if black takes, it is a stalemate, and if not, you repeat moves
