Brand New Apple Pencil Not Pairing

Hi,

I recently purchased a brand new Apple Pencil and iPad Air 4th gen with wifi. This morning, my apple pencil suddenly stopped working and I have been unable to pair it in the Bluetooth Settings of my device. The Apple Pencil does not appear in the "other devices" section of the Bluetooth page. I have restarted my device multiple times and turned bluetooth on and off, but nothing has changed.

I'm not sure how the product could be broken (I've had it less than a week), so I'd really appreciate any help!
