How do I exclude a subfolder of a subfolder in compress-archive - powershell

Question

I want to zip a folder containing files, and subfolders containing more files and more subfolders. But I want exclude just one subfolder of a subfolder. I have seen many various complicated answers but none seem to really work on this scenario.
folder structure
temp/
a/
aa/
aaa/
aaaa/
filesinaaaa.txt
filesinaaa.txt
filesinaa.txt
at.txt
b/
bb/
bt.txt
c.txt
I want to exclude all files in a/aa/aaa/ while keeping the resulting zip in the same dir structure. And if possible remove the files that were included in the zip.
So result expected is
temp/
a/
aa/
aaa/
aaaa/
filesinaaaa.txt
filesinaaa.txt
result.zip
In linux it is as simple as
cd temp
zip -rm result.zip . -x "a/aa/aaa/*"
what is the simplest way to do this in powershell?
answers i've tried do not really work on subfolder of a subfolder.

You can use 7z CLI to do so, here is the doc explaining the usage of -x option in 7z
Showing an example of the option below for reference
The directory structure explained in the question:
C:\Users\adam_\Desktop\temp〉dir -R
a b c.txt
./a:
aa at.txt
./a/aa:
aaa filesinaa.txt
./a/aa/aaa:
aaaa filesinaaa.txt
./a/aa/aaa/aaaa:
filesinaaaa.txt
