How do I get the code to return true?

The challenge problem wants me to do it in a specific way using char and indexOf but I don't know how to.

ScrabblePlayer.java 
public class ScrabblePlayer {
  // A String representing all of the tiles that this player has
  private String tiles;

  public ScrabblePlayer() {
    tiles = "";
  }

  public String getTiles() {
    return tiles;
  }

  public void addTile(char tile) {
    // TODO: Add the tile to tiles
    tiles += tile;

  }

  public boolean hasTile(char tile) {
    // TODO: Determine if user has the tile passed in
   boolean isTile = tiles.indexOf(tile) != -1;


    return false;

  }

}

You've done it! But you still need to return that value:

    return isTile;
