React native – How resolve a problem of "However we cannot choose between the following variants of org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:1.8.10"

I have an old reactnative project that i am trying to run.
When i have installed the node modules and now running the app on an emulator i get this error below

I have tried changing the java version, placing the "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:1.8.10" in the project but it was not initially there.

So i already have kotlin in my machine but i am not sure where the problem is because the library ":react-native-async-storage_async-storage" is the one causing the issue.

And i checked the project and there was no kotlin used before in the project, why is it asking for the kotlin now
