“She was not asked.”

Mary had free will.

You view it from an absolutist, Calvinist, Islamist-like literal view of Scripture and God that doesn’t allow for free will.

Catholics believe in free will.

Mary had free will.

You view it from an absolutist, Calvinist, Islamist-like literal view of Scripture and God that doesn’t allow for free will.

Catholics believe in free will.

Luke 1:
[31] And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus.

You may note the angel said "you will conceive..."

Catholics believe God is omniscient don't they? God didn't have to ask her permission. He knew what would happen when He sent the angel to tell Mary.

Do you think her "free will" would have allowed her to say "no" and catch God by surprise.

If God says something will happen it will happen. God chose Mary to bear his son and sent an angel to tell her so. That is where her Blessedness among women came from not her "free will" choice.
