New puzzle - step by step

Here I am again, with a new position. This time, a student of mine is playing with white. Is she winning? Let's find out!
In terms of material, if you add up every piece and pawn, they are actually tied; but black has more pieces, whereas white has a lot of pawns, so black is slightly better in that regard.
But if you consider king safety, you quickly realize that black is not doing great. How did their King end up on a5?!
White is next to play, and they have a mate in 6. Can you find the moves?

Aquí estoy de nuevo, con una nueva posición. Esta vez una alumna mía está jugando con blancas. Está ganando? Averigüémoslo!
En términos de material, si sumamos todas las piezas y peones, están empatados; pero las negras tienen más piezas, mientras que las blancas tienen más peones, por lo que en este aspecto las negras están un poco mejor.
Pero si consideramos la seguridad del rey, rápidamente podemos ver que las negras no están muy bien. Cómo terminó su Rey en a5?!
Ahora le toca a las blancas, y tienen mate en 6. Pueden ver qué jugar?
