Build JSON object in variable for AdaptiveCard - MultiLine text field

Automaters,

I am trying to add a data from a multi-line text field (MS Forms) to a JSON object variable that I use to build an Adaptive Card. I tried replacing the \n with \n\n, but PowerAutomate escapes the string to \\n\\n when I add the output to my JSON object variable.

I would like to have each line in a separate text block anyway, so I created an array of the JSON text blocks. The output looks like this:

[
 {
 "type": "TextBlock",
 "spacing": "small",
 "text": "AAAAA",
 "weight": "default",
 "size": "default",
 "wrap": true
 },
 {
 "type": "TextBlock",
 "spacing": "small",
 "text": "BBBBB",
 "weight": "default",
 "size": "default",
 "wrap": true
 }
]

When I use the JSON function to create a JSON object, it will only pick up the first segment. If I use join to create a string, then the string gets escaped when added to the target JSON object.

How can I either create a valid JSON variable that looks exactly like the code above without the []? Alternatively, how can prevent Power Automate from escaping my string?

Thanks for your help!
