How do I go about amending this simple script that prompts for a yes/no response so that if neither Y or N are entered it will loop back back to the original prompt

then
echo "You selected yes"
elif [ $answer == n -o $answer == N ]
then
echo "You selected no"
elif [ $answer != y -o $answer != Y -o $answer != n -o $answer != N ]
then
echo "Invalid Option"
fi
