How do I end a emmiter.on within a conditional statement

Question

Right now I am trying to create a Discord bot command that ignores specific commands in specific channels. In order to de-ignore the channel the user must type in a command, then they receive a prompt telling them to type "Yes/No" and then respond Yes, No, or if they didn't type Yes/No then tell them to do so and then repeat. Here's my code:

if (msg.content === prefix + 'ignore') {
    const guildMember = msg.member;
    const author = msg.author.id;
    if (guildMember.roles.has('309165526427369473')) {
      if (ignoredChannels.has(msg.channel.id)) {
        msg.reply('Would you like to stop ignoring this channel? (Yes/No)');
        client.on('message', msg => {
       /* if (author === msg.author.id) {
            if (msg.content === 'Yes') {
              ignoredChannels.delete(msg.channel.id);
              msg.reply('Channel is now not ignored.');
            }
            else if (msg.content === 'No') {
              msg.reply('Channel is still ignored.');
            }
            else {
              msg.reply('You did not type in the correct arguments. Please type "Yes" or "No".');
            }
          } */
          else {}
        });
      }
      else {
      ignoredChannels.set(msg.channel.id, msg.channel.name);
      msg.reply('Channel is now ignored.');
      }
    }
    else {
      msg.reply('You do not have the permissions to do this.');
    }
  }

In the commented code, that is where each conditional statement is. I would basically like to put }); in each statement to end the client.on but of course, that would be improper syntax. Now I have already tried removing the all of the listeners using client.removeAllListeners at the end of each condition but that will disable the other "message" listener I have placed elsewhere in the code that receives all of the other commands. I have also tried placing the removeLisener but that requires the specific listener function and the "msg" listener is built-in to discord.js. I also can't use client.once because it has multiple listener functions within each condition. Why I need to end the client.on is to stop the bot from responding to the required inputs from the user multiple times (needs just once), never ending the emitter.

You shouldn't add a new event client.on('message') just for receive one confirmation message.
You should use .awaitMessages() instead. Example:

// Await !vote messages
const filter = m => m.content.startsWith('!vote');
// Errors: ['time'] treats ending because of the time limit as an error
channel.awaitMessages(filter, { max: 4, time: 60000, errors: ['time'] })
  .then(collected => console.log(collected.size))
  .catch(collected => console.log(`After a minute, only ${collected.size} out of 4 voted.`));

copied from documentation

You can filter who is "allowed" to confirm the response by adding it to the filter.
