"If Mary had free will, did God have back up Holy of Holies (sinless women) ready to go?"

God, ever omniscient, knew from the beginning what Mary's response. He knew, that although She could have said no, she would not. Foreknowledge is not predestination.

Peace be to you

Foreknowledge is not predestination.

For God it is. How can it not be? God created everything, including Mary to be the mother of Jesus. She had only the illusion of free will.
