Wait/Continue in Alexa Skill Response

I am developing an Alexa skill which reads instructions to user. These instructions are long and normally consist of 8-12 steps with 1-2 lines per step.

I want to add wait/continue process in my skill.

For Example:

I want to implement a way that user can say wait, lets say on step 3 and wait for user to say continue to resume reading instructions from step 4.

Problems:

I could not find a way to make Alexa skill listen (to user input) while she is delivering response (wait in this case).

I could not find any way to make Alexa wait for user to say something (continue in this case) to continue reading response without losing its session.

Try using the AudioPlayer interface. The algorithm will be something like this:

  1. The user says a "pause". You turn him quiet music.
  2. The user says "resume". You turn off the music and continue the story.

PS

I could not find another way to hold a user session for more than 16 seconds.
