Properly Defining Types for Interactions

Currently migrating my bot from JS(v13) -> TS(v14.3.0) and I've run into a challenge perhaps, I am attempting to call a function and pass the Interaction<> or ChatInputCommandInteraction<CacheType> type to the parameter however it doesn't think its the correct type? Am I just blind and using the wrong type to pass?

• What's your exact discord.js npm list discord.js and node node -v version? • Post the full error stack trace, not just the top part! • Show your code! • Explain what exactly your issue is. • Not a discord.js issue? Check out #useful-servers.

constructor(client: Bot) {
    super();
    this.client.on('interactionCreate', (interaction): Promise<any> => this.exec(interaction)); // Argument of type 'Interaction<CacheType>' is not assignable to parameter of type 'ChatInputCommandInteraction<CacheType>'.......
}

// exec
async exec(interaction: ChatInputCommandInteraction<CacheType>): Promise<any> { ... }

So since typescript is set to strict, I presume i should just allow this as an interaction: unknown type? seems either one I pick TS doesnt like it because its top level coming from the event perhaps my tsconfig.json is too strict True, this is specifically handling all Interaction aliases but yeah TSS either wants a specific or not
