How to pass multiple double quotes in JSON?

I should construct and pass following text in my JSON scheme. Here is how it should look:

r"""any-text-goes-here"""

Here is how I decided to construct it:

function make(text) {
    return `r"""${text}"""`;
}

The function above takes any string and converts it to desired format. But, when I return it in my API as one of fields of JSON, it looks like following:

"r\"\"\"any-text-goes-here\"\"\""

I want to avoid backslashes. I understand that those slashes is needed by Javascript to properly work, but can I remove them, because client side awaits how I described above. Is it possible technically? How can I solve problem?

JSON strings are delimited by " characters.

" characters can be included in a JSON string only by using an escape sequence.

Escape sequences start with a \.

You can't avoid the backslashes.

See the grammar from the JSON website:
