They don't really ripen "naked" on the counter but you could try forcing them in a paper bag with a ripe banana. Might work. Won't cost you anything to try anyway!
Are you able to put some meshing around a branch or two to protect the fruit from the squirrels? Sort of like a mesh balloon around the fruiting bit and back further into the branch. A clear plastic bag over the fruit first might also assist. Can't say we have a squirrel problem over here. Get a couple of rats when the mango tree is in fruit but the only other animals that go after the fruits are the birds and the skinks.
