(Now, this is going to be easy for me to say in some ways, because even though I am also The Responsible One, I'm not facing real consequences at the moment. When I face dilemmas like this, though, I tend to get in a little rut of thought--which is actually a spiral, winding down on myself until I can't think any more. So in case a stranger's observation helps:)
I *think*, hard though it may be, it's more responsible to admit that you can't do it. You might not be able to think who could step up to the plate: but by not saying anything, you preclude the discovery of someone (or someones) who actually could.
