#After annotation doesnt recognize driver - selenium-webdriver

Question

As the title says I have created a Browser class where I initialize my WebDriver element with the browser I need. My issue comes in the #After class I am using that I call to close the browser window.
In my actions class I initialize the Webdriver and then I call iAmUsingBrowser to pass to my Browser class which browser I need to use
actions.java class contains the following code
Webdriver driver;
public void iAmUsingBrowser(String browser) {
driver = Browser.startBrowser(browser)
}
Browser.java contains the following code
static WebDriver driver;
public static WebDriver startBrowser(String browserName) {
switch (browserName.toUpperCase()) {
case "FIREFOX" -> {
System.setProperty("webdriver.firefox.geckodriver", "src/main/java/BrowserFiles/geckodriver.exe");
driver = new FirefoxDriver();
}
case "EDGE" -> {
System.setProperty("webdriver.edge.driver", "src/main/java/BrowserFiles/msedgedriver.exe");
driver = new EdgeDriver();
}
case "SAFARI" -> {
System.setProperty("webdriver.safari.driver", "");
driver = new SafariDriver();
}
default -> {
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "src/main/java/BrowserFiles/chromedriver.exe");
driver = new ChromeDriver();
}
}
return driver;
}
My issue comes in the actions.java class where i want to call driver.quit() and close the browser window.
#After
public void destroy() {
driver.quit();
}
When I use the above lines I get a nullPointerException for driver, but everywhere else I can use driver without any issues. What am I doing wrong and in my #After annotated class driver is null?
