Can I pull down with 5V logic a not-level shifted (which is at 2.8V logic pulled-up) input? How to pull it up to 2.8V again, with no level-shifters?

I have a Distance sensor which has an enable pin (XSHUT pin in the diagram) which is pulled high in its own PCB module at 2.8V, to enable it to work. My Attiny85 MCU, which controls the sensor, is at ...
