Please draw out the mechanism

A certain class of natural products is formed in nature first by action of ADH-like enzymes on a
starting material, followed by spontaneous (non-enzyme-catalyzed) steps that generate the final structure.
One such product, Compound P, was formed when the ADH-like enzyme was provided with NAD²H₂ as
cofactor. (As a reminder, NAD²H₂ is NADH wherein both transferable hydrogens have been replaced by
deuterium.)

Using NAD²H₂ as cofactor, provide a complete curved-arrow mechanism for this transformation. Make sure
your mechanism accounts for the location of the deuterium in the product. For the spontaneous steps, you
may use general acids and bases, but no other cofactors. (Hint: numbering your carbons will be helpful.)
