I have not used them myself, but have made a few bookmarks when I was researching Genie:

https://mail.gnome.org/archives/vala-list/2011-February/msg00072.html - suggests it works and syntax for 
declaring a function is def async function_name ():


https://live.gnome.org/Vala/Tutorial#Asynchronous_Methods
    - hopefully Genie closely matches the Vala syntax such as the use of the yield keyword

If you get it working a short write up of your code would be helpful,
