Timestamps datatype, applied ->since(), error: Call to a member function since() on string

I have some dates (timestamps data type) that when implementing:

Tables\Columns\TextColumn::make('payment_due_at')
                    ->dateTime('M j, Y')
                    ->description(fn (Booking $record): string => $record->payment_due_at->since()),

Tables\Columns\TextColumn::make('payment_due_at')
                    ->dateTime('M j, Y')
                    ->description(fn (Booking $record): string => $record->payment_due_at->since()),

I get:

Call to a member function since() on string

Call to a member function since() on string

In my model, I have implemented... (found in Laravel docs.)

    /**
     * The storage format of the model's date columns.
     *
     * @var string
     */
    protected $dateFormat = 'U';


    /**
     * The attributes that should be mutated to dates.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $dates = [
        'payment_due_at',
        'created_at',
        'updated_at',
    ];

    /**
     * The storage format of the model's date columns.
     *
     * @var string
     */
    protected $dateFormat = 'U';


    /**
     * The attributes that should be mutated to dates.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $dates = [
        'payment_due_at',
        'created_at',
        'updated_at',
    ];

Any suggestions, please? Thank you!

Doing this works but I have the feeling there must be a FilamentPHP way to do it...

Tables\Columns\TextColumn::make('payment_due_at')
    ->dateTime('M j, Y')
    ->description(fn (Booking $record): string => Carbon::parse($record->payment_due_at)->diffForHumans()),

Tables\Columns\TextColumn::make('payment_due_at')
    ->dateTime('M j, Y')
    ->description(fn (Booking $record): string => Carbon::parse($record->payment_due_at)->diffForHumans()),

protected $casts = [
    'payment_due_at' => 'datetime',
];

...
->description(fn ($record): string => $record->payment_due_at->since())

protected $casts = [
    'payment_due_at' => 'datetime',
];

...
->description(fn ($record): string => $record->payment_due_at->since())
