At some point in time startRetrieveCall will change the value of isAttempting.
How can I wait for the condition to be fulfilled without having to make a recursive call?

tailrec suspend fun call() : SomeObject =
        if (!isAttempting)
            startRetrievingCall()
        else
            call()

Mutex maybe? lock the mutex before startRetrievingCall, then lock it again after the call. This will suspend.

In startRetrievingCall, at some point unlock the mutex, which will resume the original call point.

Though to be honest, this looks like an XY situation, and you might be better served by async + Deferred, or a Channel

After investigating all the options I think Mutex is the solution
