Using map on Scala with option return types

say I have a function that takes in some kind of Option[]... namely:

def help(x: Int, 
         y : Option[BigInteger], 
         ec: ExecutionContext, 
         sc: SecurityContext): Future[Long] = { ... }

and I have an object that calls on it with map, say

val answerList: List[Future[Long]] =  random.getPersons
       .map(p => help(x , myY, ec, sc))
       .collect(Collectors.toList())

where I have "myY" it says that

Type mismatch, expected Option[BigInteger], actual: BigInteger.

I see where this is coming as my help method made the type Option.

I tried casting myY by doing Option[myY] but that doesn't seem to help. Assuming help method is implemented correctly, can someone please help me out or point me to the right direction? Thank you!

I assume that myY is a BigInteger, then all you need to do is call help with Option(myY) instead of myY
