Xbox Multiplayer split-screen error

I am attempting to resume a multiplayer game on the XboxX which my girlfriend and I have been playing.

I open the game, then open options, then select Multiplayer > Start Local Co-op.

I get a screen for the second player to join, but player one gets locked out. If I try to join with the original controller, it adds a third farmer.

How do I get back to the game where just the two of us were playing?

I've tried stopping and restarting the game. I've tried removing the third cabin that has shown up, but I haven't found any directions for how to do that.
