If you don’t have a USBASP in the parts bin, we’ve seen a very similar trick done with an Arduino clone in the past.

A little while ago we saw how the AVR Multitool, the AVRGPP learned to speak UPDI, and since we’re on programming interfaces, its possible to get the cheap-as-chips USBasp to speak TPI as well.
