How can I create an option menu in a Alexa skill?

I'm trying to create a menu of options, but I can't find information anywhere on how I can do it.

I'm using MQTT to send data between AWS Lambda and Node-RED and I want to give to the user the choice to select the broker they prefers, among other options.

Hi @JoseFM

To solve this problem in my skills, i created slot type with values of the choices. then elicit for that slot value. Another way i solved this is to create and numeration i.e. "Please choose one of these options: option A- AWS, option B- Node" and track the options and their value in the session attribute. when the user say A or option A, i check the session attribute for the value of A.
