How to resolve an outer async function from an inner function

Question

How do i resolve the outer async function askIfUserIsAMinor with a boolean indicating the user's minor status (true/false) after the user has answered a dialog prompt? For example:

async function askIfUserIsAMinor() {
  let dialogButtons = [
    {
      text: "Yes",
      onPress: () => {
        // I want to return 'false' on the outer async function 
      }
    }, 
    {
      text: "No",
      onPress: () => {
        // I want to return 'true' on the outer async function 
      }
    }
  ];
  dialog.prompt("Are you above the age of 18?", dialogButtons);
}

let userIsAMinor = await askIfUserIsAMinor();
if (userIsAMinor) {
  // let user proceed
} else {
  // show something else
}

Yes, there are many other ways to solve this problem without async/await, but my use case is much more complex than this, this is just a simplified scenario. In ES6, this can be solved by having askIfUserIsAMinor return a promise and having the inner onPress functions call resolve on the outer promise.

This code actually works correctly - promisify the dialog.prompt, then you await on the promise in the async function testMinor - the code I posted earlier fell for the same trap other people always fall for, thinking somehow one can make asynch code synchronous ...

function askIfUserIsAMinor() {
    return new Promise(function(resolve) {
        let dialogButtons = [{
            text: "Yes",
            onPress: () => resolve(true)
        }, {
            text: "No",
            onPress: () => resolve(false)
        }];
        dialog.prompt("Are you above the age of 18?", dialogButtons);
    });
}
async function testMinor() {
    let userIsAMinor = await askIfUserIsAMinor();
    if (userIsAMinor) {
      // let user proceed
    } else {
      // show something else
    }
}

or

async function askIfUserIsAMinor() {
    let userIsAMinor = await new Promise(function(resolve) {
        let dialogButtons = [{
            text: "Yes",
            onPress: () => resolve(true)
        }, {
            text: "No",
            onPress: () => resolve(false)
        }];
        dialog.prompt("Are you above the age of 18?", dialogButtons);
    });
    if (userIsAMinor) {
      // let user proceed
    } else {
      // show something else
    }
}
askIfUserIsAMinor();
