There's no way to guarantee privacy. An overbearing spouse, an anti-union boss, or a judgmental pastor could all insist on seeing the votes marked as they prefer.
A voting booth was invented for this very reason.
You can fill it out in a booth if you want, there's in-person locations with help for the disabled and privacy areas.
It's illegal to insist on seeing someone's vote, so I'm not sure what would stop such people from requiring this hypothetical person to record themselves voting at a polling location. In general mail in ballots make voter intimidation much more difficult.
Envelope.
