Esty sent a nice form rejection:
"Thank you so much for sending XXXXX for review. There was a lot about your submission I liked, however I didn't feel passionate about it in a way that would allow me to be the best champion for your work.

Though I'm sorry I won't be able to offer representation at this time, I wish you the very best on your publishing journey."
