Asking a blocking question in an async execution breaks the event loop (RuntimeError: This event loop is already running)

Describe the bug

I am writing a series of coroutines, which process data in parallel (async), but at some point may ask the user for confirmation. I would like to implement this question as a blocking questionary call, but this breaks the event loop, apparently trying to re-enter the same loop. I was wondering if I'm doing something wrong or do you see another way of implementing it.

Note: I wouldn't like to implement an async ask because the asks from different coroutines get mixed up. So this is not an option.

Example

import asyncio
import random

import questionary

async def background_task():
    await asyncio.sleep(random.randint(1, 5))
    if questionary.confirm('Do you want to continue?').ask():
        print('Confirmed')

async def main():
    tasks = []
    for _ in range(4):
        tasks.append(asyncio.create_task(background_task()))

    for task in asyncio.as_completed(tasks):
        await task

asyncio.run(main())

Steps to reproduce

Run the code above with python=3.8 and questionary==2.0.1

Expected behaviour

Each of the tasks stops to ask for confirmation and then the event loop continues. Instead the code above returns this error:

Something similar has been asked here, but the error is different.
