How do I find a sophomore summer internship this late in the year?

How do I approach something this late? Do I ask straight up for the internship when reaching out, or do I still go through the networking dance and ask to meet up or have a call? I'm getting a little desperate. I think I can find a search fund role, but I'm not sure that's strong enough work experience. Where do I go from here? Maybe asset management? I don't have a lot of the coursework required to get a finance role. I have 1 previous banking internship freshman-sophomore year, but it was in China and kind of BS. Any help is appreciated, thanks.
