Add protected and internal visibility to function in kotlin

I have an open (or abstract) public class that contains an open (or abstract) fun (or var or val) that I do not want to expose as public.

Unfortunately I also need to call that fun from inside my current package. If I mark it as internal that class cannot be inherited correctly from another package(ide gives warning: inherits invisible abstract members), if I mark it as protected the fun cannot be access from inside the current package

Any way to bypass this?

A dirty way is to add a proxy internal method and call that method inside your package:

abstract class AbstractClass {
    protected abstract fun isTrue(int: Int): Boolean

    internal fun isTrueInternalProxy(int: Int): Boolean {
        return isTrue(int)
    }
}
