firstName _____________(); ???

So in the quiz it says 

Fill in the blank(s) below:

If I had a JavaFX property that I wanted to bind that stored a first name.  I would create the following methods:

getFirstName();
setFirstName();
firstName ___________();

All I can think of is ` = SimpleStringProperty`, but it tells me I am wrong. WTH?

Property is the answer, looking at IntelliJ and using Alt+Insert puts it in-between the getter and setter, at least for me. it's at 02:48 in the video...
