Are the sides of your alcoves perfectly straight and square? No scribing required?
It's just two cuts you want to make and you don't want to fork out for a powertool, I'm sure you could get an acceptable result with , a handsaw and some patience.
Otherwise as was suggested, a circular saw and rafter square would make quick work of it.
