Error: EACCES: permission denied, mkdir '/sessions'

[jackpilowsky]

I'm a little stuck on this error. I'm sending in the following config

 app.use(session({
    store: new FileStore({
        path: './sessions/store'
    }),
    secret: 'some secret',
    resave: true,
    saveUninitialized: true
 }));

So, something funky is going on. Where is it getting '/sessions' from? I have tried setting the options to an empty object literal, and no luck. Here is the full error:
