Simple answer perhaps...

Are you hitting return after entering Y?

Note your read -n 1 is, I believe only going to read the one letter and
the "return" is buffered for the next read statement???

Of course, I am assuming that it was just the email that wrapped your
second "YesNo" onto a second line.... ;-)
