Feb 27 at 17:18 comment added phoog @Willeke indeed. Another option would be to continue the holiday outside the US and not return, for example by flying back to Germany from Canada or indeed anywhere else. A direct flight would obviously be a better bet than one with a transit through the US, but it is exceedingly unlikely that anyone would be turned back in the middle of a transit under these circumstances, even an adult traveling alone (unless of course the officer suspects that the transit is a ruse, but that's a pretty elaborate ruse for someone who could have just overstayed the J-1 to start with).
