I am trying to return a value that updates as data loads from a database.

However, when I fetch my data using async-await, my function returns a Promise, not the end value. When I check what's being returned, I get a value, but it does not seem to be returned.

 const fetchGameItems = async (items) => {
    try {
      let gameItems = await items
      console.log(gameItems)
      return await gameItems
    } catch (err) {
      console.error(err)
    }
  }

console.log(fetchGameItems(useLoadSpecficRecords(today).games.length))


// Logs
Promise {<pending>} // (From the console.log below the function declaration) 
2 // (from the fetchItems function)

useLoadSpecficRecords is a custom hook that loads data.
