Need to write trigger on EmailMessage

Here is the Scenario:
We're having Email-to-Case functionality. Whenever a new Email received on case the case field Status Alert should get updated with value "Received" and when replied to that email same field should get blank.

Can anyone please help me out with this trigger?
  
trigger emailMessageTrigger on EmailMessage (before insert, before update) {
    Set<Id> caseIdSet = new Set<Id>();
    list<Case> casList = new list<Case>();
    
    for(EmailMessage email: Trigger.new){
        caseIdSet.add(email.ParentId);
    }
    
    if(caseIdSet != null && caseIdSet.size() > 0){
        casList = [Select Id, Status, Status_Alert__c from Case where Id IN: caseIdSet AND Status != 'New' AND Status_Alert__c	!= 'New Email Received'];
    }
    
    for(EmailMessage newEmail: Trigger.new){
        if(casList.size() > 0){
            for(Case cas: casList){
                cas.Status_Alert__c	 = 'New Email Received';
                update cas;
            }
        }
    }
}
