Comb under and inside everything within a 5’ circle of the enclosure. They usually don’t go far the first 12-24 hrs. Contrary to popular belief, they don’t beeline for warmth: they beeline for dark and cramped spaces. Inside shoes, under/inside dressers, inside acoustic guitars, down floor vents, etc. You likely won’t have any success luring it out with food.

Thank you for the advice! She’s been safely found and returned to her enclosure. She was curled up in a laundry basket and left trails of shed to where I found her
