Checking back is the pure strategy here. While we have a strong pair, the Ace heavily favors the caller's range, and we need to protect our checking range with some high-equity hands.
Checking back the Ace-high flop with Kings protects our range and allows us to extract maximum value when we improve on the turn.

We've hit the jackpot with a set of Kings, but the sizing here is a significant missed opportunity. We should be betting much larger to build the pot for a river shove.
Note: Sizing is far too small; with a set on a wet board, we need to bet large (80%+) to maximize value and set up a river jam.
