Take off the drawer handle (the two screws), this will release the wood drawer front from the drawer face plate.

Once you have this wood you can fix it back to your drawer with a L- bracket. If the wood is broken too much on the side, you can replace this part with a piece equal in size and depth.

Like others suggested, pull the nails out and then add your new drawer front, nail it back in (or use screws, pre-drilling your screw holes). Then put your face plate back on.

So those nails seem to be staples. How do I pull them out? They don’t show up on the outside. I tried hitting them with a hammer gently, but they don’t seem to come back out. Do I cut them off using a multi tool?

You could try clipping them off instead of pulling them out. Just use a flush cutter (or as close to flush) and cut them down to the wood. This is what most do when taking our trim, as it can cause more damage to get the nails/staples out.

You can cut them with a multi tool if you have one, no harm in that. You essentially just need them out of the way so you can put new nails.

A flush cutter is a good idea as well.
