To pull out of NYE with no excuse?

We have long standing close friends who have invited us to NYE. Both of them are addicts and we and others have supported them and their children for many years.Their friends have all disappeared now and we find ourselves the only people who see them. They don't go out. However their adult children are keen for us to keep in touch. They asked us over on NYE but I have turned it down. The husband is now sending me messages saying we've let their daughter down as she was relying on us to go as she is very close to us and sees us as great support. The thought of sitting in a miserable house with no one else there to see in the New Year fills me with dread. But I feel bad for their daughter ( my goddaughter). I have arranged various trips for their daughter this week shopping etc AIBU? I haven't responded to the husband many messages yet.

It’s not your problem nobody else wants to be friends with them
It’s not your job to entertain them or provide them with a social life
Enjoy your peaceful NYE 🥰
