Professionally ignore people with style.

I am unavailable and gently surprised this required confirmation. I am on leave with a new human who has no respect for office hours. If this is about scope, invoices, or timeline optimism, it can wait until I resurface. You can expect a response after my absence, not during it. If this cannot wait, use the pre-arranged urgent route rather than hopeful emailing. Thank you for understanding how calendars generally work.
