After multiple attempts, she called on her childhood love for the fictional problem-solver MacGyver to get herself out and handpicked the lock with an eyeliner and a cotton earbud.

The eyeliner was used to push down the latch and she made a hook out of the earbud.

After seven hours, she was able to unlock the door.
