MacBook Air (2018 – 2020)
Nope. Sorry. It’s officially a boat anchor.
It’s entirely possible the machine you purchased is stolen, especially if the seller you purchased it from has now disappeared.
Take it to the police and give them all the information you have on the seller.

The previous owner had to do this before selling:
What to do before you sell, give away, trade in, or recycle your Mac - Apple Support
If you can not contact the previous owner to perform the actions in the linked to article, you can recycle the computer as it is of no value to you.
This seems apropos, even though parts of it are specific to cell phones.
