Few things:
1) there is a way to manually open it the cable that actuates the latch runs a little long and you can pull on it to make the latch release. Not sure if this is possible with the luggage shade still installed though (I removed mine).
2) play with the driver door sensor. push it in several times, try pushing it fairly hard (another trick to get mine to open).
3) try opening and closing the passenger door since that door sees a lot less usage, that sensor is probably still good and should let you open the hatch.
4) if you just need to get in there before the milk gets warm, try unhooking the battery for a few minutes and then you might be able to open it.
Good luck!!
