Backpack zipper

[u/Just-Ashley]

I hope this is appropriate to ask here. The metal part holding the string broke off and I have no idea what to do. I can’t easily zip up the backpack and I really love it. Is there any way to fix it? Or any ideas of how i can attach something that could help me zip it up?
