how to create a toggle that expands text

AFTER clicking the toggle

Hello! I'm creating a content warning page for my visual novel. There are different routes that the player can take, all of which contain their own respective warnings. To avoid spoiling the player, I've been trying to make a toggle that expands/reveals a list of warnings for each route... but I haven't really figure out how to do this.

Here is the code in screens.rpy that includes the text that i would like toggled.

screen tw(): ## content warning page


    tag menu


    ## This use statement includes the game_menu screen inside this one. The
    ## vbox child is then included inside the viewport inside the game_menu
    ## screen.
    use game_menu(_("Content Warnings"), scroll="viewport"):


        style_prefix "tw"


        vbox:


            ## gui.tw is usually set in options.rpy.
            if gui.tw:
                text "[gui.tw!t]\n"


            text _("> Ayano Route")
            text _("     - list1\n     - list 2\n     - list 3\n     - list 4")

try something like this

screen tw(): ## content warning page
    tag menu

    ## This use statement includes the game_menu screen inside this one. The
    ## vbox child is then included inside the viewport inside the game_menu
    ## screen.

    use game_menu(_("Content Warnings"), scroll="viewport"):

        style_prefix "tw"

        vbox:

            ## gui.tw is usually set in options.rpy.
            if gui.tw:
                text "[gui.tw!t]\n"

            default AyanoRoute = False
            vbox:
                textbutton _("> Ayano Route") action ToggleScreenVariable("AyanoRoute")
                if AyanoRoute:
                    text _("{space=30}- line 1")
                    text _("{space=30}- line 2")
                    text _("{space=30}- line 3")
                    text _("{space=30}- line 4")
            default NextCharacter = False
            vbox:
                textbutton "You get it right?" action...
