You don't need to quote the dollar sign within single quotes. The
single quote itself can be quoted by replacing it with '\'': the first
single quote closes the open one, \' inserts a literal single quote,
and the last single quote reopens the string literal.

    alias name='() {
      Var=$'\''\e['\''
    }'
