My indoor only male black cat got out once. We put out all the scents. Old blankets, our unwashed clothes, his scratch post, his empty dirty litter box, vacuum dust etc. My nextdoor neighbor would see him trying to return during the day while we were at work. Then get scared and run off into nearby woods. I started setting my alarm for 3am while it was quiet and go out calling him. Finally after 5 days I heard him crying in very thick bushes Nextdoor to our house. I saw his eyes with my flashlight. I had to literally crawl to get him. He was like afraid to move. I finally got him . They usually don’t travel far. They will hunker down close by.

Precious is likely scared and hiding, and probably close by; cats typically don't roam more than 5 houses (radius) from home. Curious cats can get trapped in sheds, garages and outbuildings; ask neighbors for permission to look in those areas, and in bushes, up trees, in storm drains, and under decks. When searching when dark, use a BRIGHT flashlight (not from your phone) to reflect light in her eyes to help find her (this tip has recently worked for two local families to find their lost cats). Use her sense of smell to lead her home; put out food and water, her cat pan, and some clothes you've recently worn. Be cautious of scammers offering locating and Drone services, or asking for money for emergency veterinarian services or transportation; scammers have been active on local lost pet posts. Be persistent in your search; don't give up hope.
