It sounds like you're treating genre as prescriptive. That is, you pick one and must conform to its rules.

Maybe it's better to think about genre as descriptive, a label that marketers or booksellers impose on your book based on what's in it.

So, as I've said here before, just write your story. Let the readers assign it a genre, if they're into that sort of thing; let the booksellers figure out which shelf to put it on. That's not your job. Just write your story.
