How to convert trigger/event into Promise or async/await?

Question

I am trying to convert a callback function to async/await. The code uses postMessage from the main window frame to an iframe. When the iframe posts a message back, it calls the callback function. Is there any way to convert to Promise from the $(window).on(...) pattern?

Minimal version of working code:

To call the function:

window.bridge.post(cb);

Bridge object:

class Bridge {
  constructor(win, root) {
    this.win = win;
    this.root = root;
    this.bindEvents();

    this.post = this.factoryMethod('post', 'postResult');

  }

  post(eventName, paramObject) {
    this.win.postMessage([eventName, JSON.stringify(paramObject)], this.root);
  }

  bindEvents() {
    window.addEventListener('message', e => this.handleEvents(e));
  }

  handleEvents(e) {
    const eventName = e.data[0];
    const eventObj = e.data[1];
    if (typeof eventName !== 'undefined' && eventName != null) {
      $(window).trigger(eventName, eventObj);
    }
  }

  factoryMethod(msgIn, msgOut) {
    return (cb) => {
      this.post(msgIn, {});
      $(window).on(msgOut, (e, arg) => cb(arg));
    };
  }

}

export default Bridge;

Thanks in advance.

Thanks to Bergi's comment I am able to convert it to Promise.

factoryMethod(msgIn, msgOut) {                                                                                                                                                                                  
  return (ann)  => new Promise((resolve, reject) => {                        
    this.post(msgIn, ann);                                                                                                                                                                                      
    $(window).on(msgOut, (e, arg) => resolve(arg));                                                                                                           
  });                                                                                                                                                                                                           
}    

This returns a higher order function that returns a Promise.
