Specific Remove background persons

[thatjaimee]

Hi Gurus,
Would like to seek your help to edit the background persons away aand also the strand of hair accidentally covering the face? As you can see, it’s an important picture for a friend! If it’s possible, a million thanks!

Another version - the original image looks like it's processed already...
