Can someone explain to me what I did wrong, please? I keep getting a "unexpected end input" bummer

I've been stuck on this for a long minute

object.js 
const player1 = {
    name: 'Ashley',
    color: 'purple',
    isTurn: true,
    play: function(){
       if (this.isTurn) {
        const player1 = { name: 'Ashley',
                          color: 'purple',
                          isTurn: true,
                          play: function(){ 
                            if (this.isTurn){
                              return player1 ['name'] + ' is now playing!'
       }
    }
}

Hi Gladys,

Part of your problem is that your braces are unbalanced: you have a few more opening braces than closing braces.

The bigger problem is that you are defining a new local constant inside your if statement when all you are being asked to do is return the string described in the challenge text.

Hope that helps

Cheers

Alex
