My table is returning true instead of the data that was inside of it. Why? [FIXED]

--Edit-- Found a small error in a different part of the script that was causing this and got it fixed.

I have a module script (MainModule) in my game and it manages all the players' data/stats. I have a function to return stat data to other script that need it, however, I'm always getting 'true' instead of all the data that was in the table. I even have it print out all the data in the table before it returns it so I can confirm that it doesn't just say 'true' inside the table.

01-- This is a snippet my ModuleScript
02function MainModule:ReturnData(player)
03    print("Started return data")
04    if player then
05        print("Player exists")
06        local ActualPlayer = game:GetService("Players"):FindFirstChild(tostring(player))
07        if sessionData[ActualPlayer] then
08            print("Session data exists")
09            return dataStoreRetry(function()
10                print("Sent Data")
11                for i,v in pairs(sessionData[ActualPlayer]) do
12                    print(i,v) -- It prints out the data in the table perfectly
13                end
14                return sessionData[ActualPlayer]
15            end)
16        end
17    end
18end

So if I were to request it from another script like this:

1local MainModule = require(script.Parent.MainModule) -- In ServerScriptService
2function Test()
3    local PlayerData = MainModule:ReturnData("Crazycat4360")
4    print(PlayerData) -- This returns true instead of the data in the table
5    for i,v in pairs(PlayerData) do
6        print(i,v) -- This errors because PlayerData is returning as a boolean (true) instead of the data that was in the table.
7    end
8end

It returns true instead of the data in the table! Is there something I'm not understanding? Thanks.
