How to promisify readline?

I am trying to promisify readline like this:

const readline = require('readline');

function question(question) {
  return new Promise(resolve => {
    console.log('this is reached');
    const rl = readline.createInterface({
      input: process.stdin,
      output: process.stdout
    });
    
    rl.question(question, (answer) => {
      console.log('this is never reached');
      rl.close();
      resolve(answer);
    });
  });
}

async function main() {
  await question(`Enter a value': `);
}

But even though I enter a value and press enter, the promise is not resolved. What might be wrong?
