Having Trouble Recruiting Sims in Batuu!!

Apologies if this is the wrong place to post this, but I am at a loss as to what to do.

I'm currently in the middle of playing the Scoundrel Lifetime Aspiration on Batuu. I'm on a mission where I need to recruit folks to help with a heist on Canto Bite, but for some reason, I can't recruit anyone. I have been asking all of the scoundrels I am maxed friendship/relationship with and they keep giving me the same answer "Ha, I hardly know you, thanks for the good laugh." or "I wouldn't be caught dead on a ship with you, try someone else." When we're already friends and my sim's charisma is maxed out. I am beyond frustrated at this point because I have been at this part of the mission for almost an hour just getting the same response over and over again.

Is there anything I can do to further increase my chances or do I just keep asking the same scoundrel sims over and over again until the RNG allows me to successfully recruit someone?

    I have tried bribing, but it didn't work. They still refused with the "I don't know you." line. It's insanely broken and I'm wondering if it's bugged.
