accessing cache inside a promise is not working ok

Issue

I am doing the following inside a function which is called as a promise:
let cachedData = await init(redisKey);
if(cachedData){
logger.info("FOUND CACHED MENUDATA...");
return cachedData;
} else {
logger.info("NOTFOUND CACHED MENUDATA...", venueId);
}

However the control always comes to the else and prints "NOT FOUND CACHED MENUDATA". After that it prints logs inside the redis.readCache function.

const init = async(redisKey) => {
const cachedData = await redis.readCache(redisKey);
console.log(Hi CACHED DATA GOT,cachedData);
return cachedData;
};

Environment

• Node.js Version: 8

• Redis Version: 3

• Platform: ubuntu 20

No source file or test is named. Start by reproducing the reported call through init(redisKey), then inspect redis.readCache and the promise timing around its return. Done means a cache hit is returned from init before the fallback branch runs, with a regression test covering the behavior.
