You start here:

Install Python library without pip

It’s just a proof of concept.

It should be possible.

Here’s a link to a little tutorial on how to spin up an instance of Power Shell and make it execute a script: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/kebab/2014/04/28/executing-powershell-scripts-from-c/

Here’s a link to email sending example via Power Shell (script that you can post): https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.utility/send-mailmessage?view=powershell-6

Put these into a ZeroTouch node, and it should send emails.

Cheers!
