The solution is to accept that this isn’t a software development problem, and to remove yourself from the situation as painlessly as possible.

If a manager wants to structure a morning break into their employees’ day, they can do that. It doesn’t require a software fix.

Completely insane, who doesn't get to have coffee breaks without manager permission? Surely any org that treats its employees as adults would not have this problem.
