Alexa Skills Kit trigger not available on drop down in AWS Lambda

I'm trying to build a simple AWS Lambda function that is triggered by the Alexa Skills Kit. I am following an Amazon made tutorial on creating the skill, etc. Unfortunately, Alexa Skills Kit is not an option on the drop down menu for the "Configure Triggers" window. I've attached a photo of what is available.

Is there anyway to get the Alexa Skills Kit to display? Is there something wrong with my account? Any suggestions would be very helpful. I am stuck at a spot that really shouldn't be causing me any issues. I have a basic account and therefore cannot get support from Amazon.

I figured it out. For some reason my location defaulted to Oregon, which is not supported for ASK. Changing it to N. Virginia did the trick.
