You did not post his reaction to the BB shove. And this is the key to your hand :P

I would probably let it go, AK is one of my biggest leaks (because I overplay it all the time, just recently started laying it down, + results) and you can look at your healthy stack and realize that you can wait for a better spot. Fold, keep an eye on villain, save your chips when you know you're ahead and have a more solid read on your opponent to get a double up.

15,200 in the pot, 17,690 more to call.

You only have to be 35% against his range.

You've got that against JJ+,AKs, or QQ+,AK.

Even against QQ+, you're only losing 2k on average, so it's hard to be terribly wrong.

I don't think you can give a KK+ range to a random here.

So I'd call.
