[Prisma] Nested create with 2 levels of related records

Say I have an object:

const params = {
  name: 'bob',
  age: '25',
  posts: [
    {
      body: 'hello',
      uploads: [
        'cat.jpg',
        'dog.jpg',
      ],
    },
    { 
      body: 'test',
      uploads: [
        'meme.jpg',
        'pic.jpg',
      ]
    },
  ],
}

const params = {
  name: 'bob',
  age: '25',
  posts: [
    {
      body: 'hello',
      uploads: [
        'cat.jpg',
        'dog.jpg',
      ],
    },
    { 
      body: 'test',
      uploads: [
        'meme.jpg',
        'pic.jpg',
      ]
    },
  ],
}

How do I create/update such an object with Prisma? Nested creates are not possible, so 'posts' and 'uploads' has to be created separately. But how do I create 'uploads' which is an array within in array?

model User {
  name  String
  age   String
  posts Post[]
}

model Post {
  body    String
  uploads String[]

  user    User  @relation(fields: [user_id], references: [id])
  user_id String
}

model User {
  name  String
  age   String
  posts Post[]
}

model Post {
  body    String
  uploads String[]

  user    User  @relation(fields: [user_id], references: [id])
  user_id String
}

let user = await prisma.user.create({data:{ ... }})
await prisma.post.create({data:{ ..., user_id:user.id }})

let user = await prisma.user.create({data:{ ... }})
await prisma.post.create({data:{ ..., user_id:user.id }})
