A question on Scope or Async Blocking

G'day all. I have some code that creates children of a Carousel page based on information coming back from a service request. The following code works when on iOS but not on Android. I have the carousel page declared at a class level filling it up in a AsyncTask method and then calling it as a return parameter in a Page. Even without the Wait method with the arbitrary 1000ms applied it works in iOS, i just added it so see if it would aid in debugging.

the calling method is a button click that does this.

meetTeamButton.Clicked += (sender, e) => {
//              var j = new JBTeamAppV2();
//              var p = j.GetTeamMembers();
//              j.RefreshAsync().Wait(1000);
                Navigation.PushAsync(new JBTeamAppV2().GetTeamMembers());
                //Navigation.PushAsync(p);
                //Console.WriteLine("test");
                };

I Appreciate any thoughts

`namespace jbb
{
public class JBTeamAppV2 : Application
{
BeerListViewViewModel staffSvc = new BeerListViewViewModel();
CarouselPage mcp = new CarouselPage();

    public async Task RefreshAsync()
    {
        var currStaff = await staffSvc.GetAllStaffAsync();
        mcp.Title = "Our Team";
        mcp.Icon = "Contacts-30.png";

        foreach (var s in currStaff.staffs) {
                var jbt = new JBTeam () {
                Name = s.Name,
                Title = s.Title,
                Desc = s.Desc,
                PicURL = s.PicURL
            };
            mcp.Children.Add (new MeetOurFolks(jbt));
        }

// var x = mcp.Children.Count ().ToString ();
//this will return the right value of 19 items
// Console.WriteLine (x);
}

    public Page GetTeamMembers ()
    {
        RefreshAsync().Wait(1000);

// var y = mcp.Children.Count ().ToString ();
//this will return zero
// Console.WriteLine (y);
return mcp;

    }

}

}
