My understanding (and you probably already know) is that PawPaws are pollinated by flies (and not bees).

At a medieval/fantasy campground I've planted thousands of trees at, we located the pawpaw trees near the bathrooms and trash cans. Both of which attract flies.

Perhaps when (or shortly before) the pawpaws are in bloom, you dump some charnel or other biowaste near the trees to help attract flies?

We used to hang road kill up in our pawpaw trees to get the flies to come to them.
