Matching a choice of character in test command

Hi
[ "$answer" != [Yy] ] && exit 0
Although it, the $answer, is 'y', the test operation returns true.

[ "$answer" != y ] && exit 0

This works but I want to do multiple choice matching.
I don't want to do like:
[ "$answer" != y -a "$answer" != Y]

Please help
