        let answerQuestion1 = answerBucket.getAnswerFor('question1')
        // do something with the answers
    })

// alternatively use .askQuestion() for more direct control
SmartInteract.askQuestion{ // note: its an array. You can specify multiple questions
    name: 'question2',

    message: 'Do you speak English?',
    default: true,

    // answerObject looks like { name: 'question2', value: true }
