Certain $u,v,w \in \mathbb{C}[x,y]$ such that $\mathbb{C}(u,v,w)=\mathbb{C}(x,y)$

Let $\beta$ be the following involution on $\mathbb{C}[x,y]$ (= an automorphism of order two): $\beta: (x,y) \mapsto (x,-y)$.

Let $s_1,s_2 \in S_{\beta}$ and $k \in K_{\beta}$.

Assume that the following conditions are satisfied:

(1) $\mathbb{C}(s_1,s_1,k)=\mathbb{C}(x,y)$.

(2) $s_1,s_2$ are algebraically independent over $\mathbb{C}$.

My revised question:

Could one find an additional ('weak') condition that will guarantee that $\mathbb{C}(s_1,s_2)=\mathbb{C}(x,y^2)$?

Please notice that my original question was: "Is it true that $\mathbb{C}(s_1,s_2)=\mathbb{C}(x,y^2)$?" (See older edits).

An attempt to answer: Take $s_1=x, s_2=y^4, k=xy$. Perhaps a plausible additional condition that will guarantee that $\mathbb{C}(s_1,s_2)=\mathbb{C}(x,y^2)$ is: $y \notin \mathbb{C}(s_i,k)$, $1 \leq i \leq 2$.

I have asked the above question at MO.

Thank you very much!
