How can you pass the values of earliest and latest?

I have a text date stamp called ACK_Time that I need to validate is between earliest=-1d@d AND latest=-0d@d. I can
... earliest=-1d@d AND latest=-0d@d | convert timeformat "%m/%d/%y %H:%M:%S" mktime(ACK_Time as ack_time| ..

but now I need to recall the values of earliest and latest as epoch so I can:

...| where ealiest<= ack_time AND ack_time<=latest|....

Is there a way to pass the values captured in earliest and latest so they can be reused in a where clause?

Implementation of solution by @gkanapathy,

Thanks @gfuente for pointing out correction. Updated my answer.

There is one parentheses missing and a typo in the where "earliest"
