I worked in a team where the maximum time difference between members varied from 12h (when everyone was near their primary residence) to 20h (when some people traveled). We were 100% remote and mostly async, but we had daily meetings and others like grooming, planning etc. I was lucky to be in the middle (Central Europe) so the daily was ~2PM for me, for some it was 9PM, for others 9AM. If you were in a time zone that made it inconvenient (like 3AM in Hawaii) you were not expected to join, just post your daily updates on team's Slack channel. Similar with other meetings, most went fine missing a member or two. Nobody expected you to reply outside of your core working hours and it was cool to create a PR at the end of the work day and wake up to see it reviewed first thing in the morning.
I can see your pain being alone in a distant time zone and honestly the only advice I could give would be to try and agree on time slots that work for both parties.
