Stuck on spinning globe

I have a MacBook Air retina 2018. I believe someone had tried to reinstall a fresh OS and something failed. I hit option command r and see a spinning globe where I can see my wifi. I enter my password and I’m taken back to the spinning globe with what looks like a connection to my WIFI network. After a few seconds, nothing else is visible except the spinning globe. The computer is doing something as I hear the fan working hard. Any help? I’m stuck as where to go from here.

Follow the instructions in If you can't start up from macOS Recovery, all the way through to the end.
