Mongoose statics is not working with async and await

I have one mongoose model where I declared 1 statics which should return me all features.

const Feature = require('./featureModel')

const mongoose = require('mongoose');
const Schema = mongoose.Schema;
const schemaOptions = {
  timestamps: { createdAt: 'created_at', updatedAt: 'updated_at' },
};

const ModemSchema = new Schema({
  proxy_type: {
    type: String,
    default: 'None'
  },
  data_prioritization: {
    type: String,
    default: 'None'
  }
}, schemaOptions);


ModemSchema.statics.possibleProxyTypes = async function () {
  features = await Feature.find({})
  return features
}

module.exports = mongoose.model('Modem', ModemSchema);

Modem.possibleProxyTypes I am calling it like this (class method) But await is not waiting and I am getting output [AsyncFunction] . Not sure what is wrong here.

I made it worked like this. ( If you had added all the related codes to the question, I would say where was the problem.)

Modem Schema: ( almost no change, I only added let features, and console.log)

ModemSchema.statics.possibleProxyTypes = async function() {
  letfeatures = await Feature.find({});
  console.log(features);
  return features;
};

And I tried this in a sample get route like this:

const Feature = require("../models/featureModel");
const Modem = require("../models/modemModel");

router.get("/modem", async (req, res) => {
  const features = await Modem.possibleProxyTypes();
  res.send(features);
});

Maybe the problem was that you didn't use await here in this line:

await Modem.possibleProxyTypes()

This returned me features like this:

[
    {
        "_id": "5e0207ff4323c7545026b82a",
        "name": "Feature 1",
        "__v": 0
    },
    {
        "_id": "5e0208054323c7545026b82b",
        "name": "Feature 2",
        "__v": 0
    }
]
