Why won't the text accept this answer?

I've tested the code and it produces the correct response. I also tried a tried a variant where the 'if' was closer to the instructions

if answer == 'n' or answer == 'N': sys.exit() else: print("Enjoy the show!")

do I need to setup an elif not answer.isalpha() to handle non-text input?

firedoor.py 
import sys

def start_movie():
    answer = input("start movie Y/n").lower()
    if answer != 'n':
        print("Enjoy the show!")
    else:
        sys.exit()

that's how I started this quiz. at some point it threw an error the wrong result from some function called "start_movie" so i'm guessing that's working in the back ground. The thing that originally got me turned out to be indenting the "if" block, but I stripped it out of the function and de-dented the "if" to inline w/ the answer variable and it worked. Thanks!
