React Native "onPress is not a function" when passing function in Modal

Question

I'm trying to have a Modal visible flag turn false when a button within the modal is pressed. I was able to get the modal to become visible when pushing a button on the screen. However, when I use similar code to make is not visible I get the following error:

TypeError: onPress is not a function. (In 'onPress(event)', 'onPress' is an instance of Object)

I believe the problem lies in <CreatorModal onPressClose={() => setCreatorModalVisible(false)} /> and <TouchableOpacity onPress={onPressClose}>

I'm very new to Javascript, React and React Native so I'm very lost Would someone please help me figure out why this is happening and also provide a solution?

I have attached my code below:

videoCard.js

import React, { useState } from "react";

import { useWindowDimensions, Modal } from "react-native";
import { LinearGradient } from "expo-linear-gradient";
import style from "styled-components/native";

import Colors from "./colors";
import VideoPlayer from "./videoPlayer";
import VideoElements from "./videoElements";
import CreatorModal from "./creatorModal";

const Gradient = style((props) => <LinearGradient {...props} />)`
    height: 100%;
    width: 100%;
    justifyContent: center;
    alignItems: flex-end;
    position: absolute;
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
    zIndex: 1;
`;

const VideoContainer = style.View`
    backgroundColor: ${Colors.darkGrey};
    justifyContent: center;
    alignItems: flex-end;
`;

const VideoCard = ({ card, isPlay }) => {
    const [creatorModalVisible, setCreatorModalVisible] = useState(false);

    const width = useWindowDimensions().width;
    const height = useWindowDimensions().height;

    return (
        <VideoContainer style={{ height: height, width: width }}>
            <Modal
                animationType="slide"
                transparent={true}
                visible={creatorModalVisible}
            >
                <CreatorModal
                    onPressClose={() => setCreatorModalVisible(false)}
                />
            </Modal>
            <VideoPlayer
                video={card.video.video}
                isPlay={isPlay}
                orientation={card.video.orientation}
            />
            <Gradient
                locations={[0, 0.25, 0.75, 1]}

Small sample app output using your creatorModal source code after passing onPressClose as an object:

const creatorModal = ({onPressClose}) => {
//pass object here ______^^^^^^^^^    
return (
        <Container>
            <ModalContainer>
                <Text>Creator</Text>
                <TouchableOpacity onPress={onPressClose}>
                    <Text>Close</Text>
                </TouchableOpacity>
            </ModalContainer>
        </Container>
    );
};

export default creatorModal;

Here is the working example: Expo Snack

Or, you can keep creatorModal.js as it is and make the following changes to videoCard.js:

<Modal
    animationType="slide"
    transparent={true}
    visible={creatorModalVisible}>
        {CreatorModal(() => setCreatorModalVisible(false))}
        //call it as a simple function ____^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 </Modal>
