Hi, i made a skin inventory system, and i thought everything worked but it spewed out the data as 'nil', can anyone help?

01local dsservice = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
02local skinsdatastore = dsservice:GetDataStore("JuggernautSkinsDewretoz2019")
03local skinTemplate = game.ReplicatedStorage.SkinTemplate
04game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
05    plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
06        local ownedSkins = Instance.new("Folder")
07        ownedSkins.Name = "PlayerSkins"
08        ownedSkins.Parent = plr
09        local key = "key-"..plr.UserId
10        local data = {}
11        data = skinsdatastore:GetAsync(key)
12        if data ~= nil then
13           for i,v in pairs(data) do
14            print(v.Name)
15            local nskin = game.ReplicatedStorage:FindFirstChild(v.Name):Clone()
16            nskin.Parent = ownedSkins
17        end
18    else
19        print(plr.Name.." has no skins to load")
20    end
21    end)
22end)
23game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(plr)
24    local skinsToSave = {}
25    local key = "key-"..plr.UserId
26    for _, skin in pairs(plr.PlayerSkins:GetChildren()) do
27        table.insert(skinsToSave,skin.Name)
28    end
29    skinsdatastore:SetAsync(key,skinsToSave)
30end)
