Maybe you should have also said that it was the first time you had played!

Almost anything you do now could be influenced by that knowledge.

If it was a regular partnership what would you bid?

My guess would be 4/5D!  Any other bid at this time may be considered
fielding!

You know that your partner has got it wrong but every now and again they
might not, therefore bid 5D suck up the bad result and either gloat over
your own integrity or shout at partner.🤣
