How to save the return value from the query in Sails.js Console?

Question

I am trying to run a simple query in my local Postgres db to return the User with an ID of 1 and save that value in the variable record. I'm using Sails.js and am in the Sails Console when I'm running these commands. I can get the query to print the object by running

var record = User.find(1).exec(console.log);,

but I can't seem to figure out how to save that value in a variable.

I've tried quite a few other things. await doesn't work in the Sails Console and all their documentation seems to use that.

I've also tried:

var record = User.find(1).exec(function(err, u){
    return u[0];
});

var record = User.find(1).exec(function(err, u){
    return u;
});

If I run:

var record = User.find(1).exec(function(err, u){
    console.log(Object.keys(u[0]));
});

it does print out all the keys to the user I'm querying, so I'm able to access the object, just can't figure out a way to save that object in a variable inside the Sails Console.

Any ideas?
