My guess is it got in through the window and was never able to find its way out and probably hid somewhere in her room during the day, coming out at night to uh... feast on... no idea.

It's probably like a fly, can find its way into houses and things but not get out. It probably found a way onto the mat through the least resistance and then didn't find a way back out by the time I found it.

They're actually quite resilient especially if weather is humid. They don't need to eat every night either. I've had slugs in houses where there was no visible food left for them, and they stayed. They do like scraping mold and rot off a variety of surfaces, so it's most likely it survived on whatever was growing or rotting underneath the carpet, or behind a damp wooden skirting or windowsill. Stuff that us humans wouldn't notice unless went literally looking for it
