A directory to GUI containing a variable is not recognizing the variable?

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(HIT)
    local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(HIT.Parent)
        local meep = game.Players.player.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.Shop
        meep:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0.5,0,0.6,0),'In','Bounce',0.5)
        wait(0.5)
end)

script.Parent.TouchEnded:Connect(function(HIT)
    local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(HIT.Parent)
local meep = game.Players.player.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.Shop
        meep:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(1.5,0,0.6,0),'Out','Bounce',0.5)
wait(0.5)
end)

So, the title is pretty self explanatory.

in line 3 and 10, there is

local meep = game.Players.player.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.Shop

The script is not recognizing "player" as a variable and thinks it is a real child of player. How do i fix this?
