Multiple Reprompts

Google Assistant allows to add multiple reprompts that are spoken out in order if there is no response by the user. Here is the official reference by Google: Static Reprompts.

The reprompts can be added to the ask method by using an array.

this.ask(speech, [reprompt1, reprompt2, goodbyeMessage]);

The first two messages are usually reprompt messages, the third one is used to say goodbye to the user.
