Alexa NodeJS failing on speechoutput without a specific error

Question

I'm trying to create an Alexa skill that looks up locations on a web service based on the location of the Alexa Device.

I have all the code working, as I can see the right outputs in the logs, but the one thing I'm struggling with is getting the speech output to work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm quite new to NodeJS. I have a feeling it's something related to calling the tell within the https.request, but I don't now how to resolve that.

Code:

deviceAddressRequest.then((addressResponse) => {
    switch(addressResponse.statusCode) {
        case 200:
            console.log("Address successfully retrieved, now responding to user.");
            const address = addressResponse.address;
            const postcode = `${address['postalCode']}`;

            // Get JSON response

            console.info("test begin");

            var post_data =
            {
                "postcode":
                "`${address['postalCode']}`"
            };
            console.info ('Users postcode is ' + postcode);
            var post_options = {
                host:  '[redacted]',
                port: '443',
                path: '/alexa/address.php?postcode=' + encodeURI(postcode),
                method: 'POST',
                headers: {
                    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
                    'Content-Length': Buffer.byteLength(JSON.stringify(post_data))
                }
            };
            console.info ('Post options set');
            var post_req = https.request(post_options, function(res) {
                res.setEncoding('utf8');
                var returnData = "";
                res.on('data', function (chunk) {
                    returnData += chunk;
                });
                res.on('end', function () {
                    console.info("Data returned!")
                    console.info('returnData: ' + returnData);
                    var nearBoutique = JSON.parse(returnData).location1;
                    console.info("Nearest location: " + nearLocation);
                    const ADDRESS_MESSAGE = "Your nearest location is: " + nearLocation;
                });
            });
            post_req.write(JSON.stringify(post_data));
            post_req.end();
            console.info(ADDRESS_MESSAGE);
            // I tried it here, and also under the "const ADDRESS_MESSAGE"
            this.emit(":tell", ADDRESS_MESSAGE);
            break;
        case 204:
            console.log("Successfully requested from the device address API, but no address was returned.");
            this.emit(":tell", Messages.NO_ADDRESS);
            break;
        case 403:
            console.log("The consent token we had wasn't authorized to access the user's address.");
            this.emit(":tellWithPermissionCard", Messages.NOTIFY_MISSING_PERMISSIONS, PERMISSIONS);
            break;
        default:
            this.emit(":ask", Messages.LOCATION_FAILURE, Messages.LOCATION_FAILURE);
    }

    console.info("Ending getAddressHandler()");
});

And the Lambda CloudWatch log:

I'm not looking for a direct solution, but a pointer in the right direction would be great please.

Thanks
