[Python] How to make a confirmation prompt with buttons with a discord bot in discord.py?

I have a few commands in my discord bot that I'd like to ask for confirmation before running. Something like this example:

@tree.command(name='test')
async def testCommand(interaction: discord.Interaction):
if await confirmationPrompt(interaction, 'run this test command'):
# Do stuff


But for that, i need confirmationPrompt() to return either True or False.

I'd like to make the options to this confirmation prompt with buttons, so i wrote this:

async def confirmationPrompt(interaction: discord.Interaction, warning: str):

class ConfirmationButtons(discord.ui.View):

@discord.ui.button(label = '✅', style = discord.ButtonStyle.blurple)
async def returnTrue(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button):
return()

@discord.ui.button(label = '❌', style = discord.ButtonStyle.blurple)
async def returnFalse(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button):
return()


await interaction.response.send_message(
embed = discord.Embed(title = 'Are you sure you want to ' + warning),
view = ConfirmationButtons()
)


The issue is: I can't figure out a way to make confirmationPrompt() return something from within returnTrue() or returnFalse(). What should I write to do that? Or if there's a better way to achieve the same result with a different method i would also like to know.
