Meteor Mongo adding data to an existing collection

I currently have the the collection "Plans" and it is made upon the creation of a form submit. It inserts the following:

Plans.insert({
  location,
  address,
  date,
  time,
  notes,
  createdAt: new Date(), // current time
  owner: Meteor.userId(),
  username: Meteor.user().username,
  attendees: [
     {
        attender: [{
           user: String,
           attending: Boolean,
        }],
     },
  ],
});

Then, upon a click of a checkbox, I want a new attender object to be added to the attendees array. So far I have tried to do: 

'click .notattending'() {
  Plans.insert(
     {_id: this._id,
        attendees: [{
           attender: [
              {
                 user: Meteor.user().username,
                 attending: false,
              }
           ],
        }
        ]
     },
  );
},

However it isn't adding to the Mongo collection. Is this the correct way to go about doing it?

You can try this to based on your schema.

Plans.update({ _id: this._id }, {
    $push: {
        attendees: { user: "", attending: true },
    },
});
