zappa is packaging extra files which are available in another directory

Question

I have a simple flask application and I want to deploy that on AWS environment using Zappa.

My repository structure will be like this:

MyBackend
   misc
     -project1
     -project2
       .
       .
     -project n
   MyFlaskApplication
     -flask-code
     -zappa-settings.json
     -requirments.txt

If you see above project structure, I have two different projects,misc and MyFlaskApplication.

I went to MyFlaskApplication project path and performed these steps:

virtualenv .venv
. .venv/bin/activate

pip3 install zappa

zappa package dev -o artifact.zip

I want to upload this zipped (artifact.zip) into S3 then my ci/cd will take care of deployment of this zip file on Lambda.

Issue

When I try to package MyFaskApplication, zappa is packaging misc project codes as well. Because of this my zip file size increases rapidly like 400MB.

I want to package only my flask code not misc projects.

Can anyone suggest a solution for this?
