I believe you could be over-thinking this Challenge.
1) We don't need to import random as a number should be passed to the function.
2) We don't need to print anything since the Challenge does not request us to do so.
If we understand what the modulus operator does, particularly in relation to comparing num % 2, then we really only need to return the result of that statement. This is because we will get a result of either True or False.
Therefore, this Challenge could be completed successfully with one-line inside the function.
I hope this helps.

def even_odd(number): if number % 2 == 0: return True else: return False
