How to use 'await/async' in react native?

Question

I am getting isValidate value from sqlite and routing user to MainTabs or ValidateUser components. But I can not do it because it is not working async/await (Or I couldn't.).

initialRouteName will be assigned the name of the component to which users will be routed. Now react native routing to "ValidateUser".

Not: When I try flag async the MainNavigationContainer and I write await directly inside it is throwing error.

Not: I am using expo-sqlite-orm for getting data from database

    //imports truncated...
    
    const Stack = createStackNavigator()
    
    //truncated...
    
    const MainNavigationContainer = (props) => {
    
        console.log("MainNavigationContainer props", props)
    
        var initialRouteName = "ValidateUser"
    
        async function validateUserFunc () {
            const validatedUser = await Users.findBy({isAdmin_eq: 1})
            console.log('validatedUser in validateUserFunc: ', validatedUser)
            props.setValidatedUser(validatedUser)
    
            let userIsValidated = validatedUser.isValidated
            let validatedTelNumber = validatedUser.telNo
    
            initialRouteName = userIsValidated === 1 ? "MainTabs" : "ValidateUser"
            console.log('initialRouteName in validateUserFunc: ', initialRouteName)
        }
    
        validateUserFunc()
        console.log('initialRouteName after validateUserFunc: ', initialRouteName)

Users.js entity:

export default class Users extends BaseModel {
    constructor(obj) {

    }

    static get database() {
        /*return async () => SQLite.openDatabase({
            name:"ulak.db",
            location:"default"
        })*/

        return async () => SQLite.openDatabase("ulak.db")
        //return async () => SQLite.openDatabase(`${FileSystem.documentDirectory}SQLite/ulak.db`)
    }

    static get tableName() {
        return 'users'
    }

    static get columnMapping() {
        return {
            id: { type: types.INTEGER, primary_key: true }, // For while only supports id as primary key
            userName: { type: types.TEXT, not_null: true },
            userSurname: { type: types.TEXT, not_null: true },
            telNo: { type: types.TEXT, not_null: true },
            deviceId: { type: types.TEXT },
            isValidated: { type: types.INTEGER, default: 0, not_null: true },
            isAdmin: { type: types.INTEGER, not_null: false, default: 0 },//if isAdmin=1 phone owner, it will authentication.
            profilePicture: { type: types.TEXT, default: null },
            registerDate: { type: types.DATETIME, not_null: true, default: () => Date.now() }
        }
    }
