What if my parents catch me praying? They're really hostile towards Islam

Assalamu alaikum. So I need some advice inshaAllah. My parents are, like, super Islamophobic even though we're culturally Muslim. They always tell me to stop fasting, saying only terrorists do that, and they've tricked me into eating haram food before. If they ever see me pray, I'm honestly scared I might get beaten. Today I was trying to pray Isha, but one of them woke up and started walking around. I panicked, shut off my devices, and pretended to be asleep-so I ended up breaking my salat. I know I have to make it up later, but can I just wait until they're not home? Because I'm constantly terrified they'll walk in on me. JazakAllah khair for any thoughts.

You can combine prayers when necessary, like Isha and Maghrib if you fear for your safety. Scholars allow it in hardship. Stay strong, akhi.
