Node JS Await Sync Chatbot

NODE JS ASYNC / WAIT KNOWLEDGE NEEDED I have a very specific request - it is to do with structuring code with async/await and working with an API. I have the code pulling a JSON object from an API and working on the data it pulls back - but I am having trouble making everything work with async and keeping variables in scope. It requires the Microsoft chatbot emulator to run it. I can provide all the existing code and a link to this. Current Behaviour: User types: triggerwismo Chatbot responds: Please may I take your orderID User types and order id (one letter followed by 6 numbers - if it begins with an 'S' it is a pharmacy order, otherwise it is a normal order Chatbot responds with a blank line User types in the same order id again Chatbot responds with 'this is a pharmacy order' or 'this is not a pharmacy order' The fact that I need to type it in twice is some sort of scope issue as I am using global variables in the async function I think. Behaviour Required User types in order id: S123456 Chatbot reponds: This is a pharmacy order. I can't help with that User types in order id: B665232 Chatbot responds: This is not a pharmacy order, please enter your account holder name [json object needs to be added to a session at this point I think, and user enters a value which needs to match 'accountHolderName' in the JSON.] chatbot responds: Thankyou, order was place on 'dateandTimeplaced' from the JSON or if the accountHolderName entered doesn't match: chatbot responds: That doesn't match, sorry. Basically, the test JSON has lorem ipsum type text in it at the moment, but I need to get see how the flow of conversation can be done in this async way with node controlling the logic. The code I can supply has working async functions for the QnA maker. I think for someone that knows Node and async/await and variable scope, this should be just an hour or two. Ideally needed as soon as possible, certainly by Tuesday evening UK. If you think it would be easier to work with me sharing my screen and you telling me how to structure the code, I would be open to that also. Everything will happen in the [login to view URL] code which I will attach. Though full repo and instructions to get it working in chatbot emulator provided if needed. Thanks
