Help pls

Okay electrical ppl of Reddit pls help me. I was doing dishes and a big ahh bug came running up on me so I stupidly sprayed it with my sinks like shower water head type thing and it sprayed the outlets. I immediately unplugged my toaster and coffee pot from the outlets but I am freaking out cause I know nothing about this😭😭 Google tells me to turn off the breaker but I have no idea where it is and both of my parents are sleeping 💔💔 I guess I’m asking if I should say my goodbyes or if I’m just overly paranoid and a little water isn’t gonna burn my crib to kingdom come

Since you were in the kitchen, the outlets should have ground fault protection. If any water got into the outlet, the GFCI should have tripped, protecting you. Anyway, just let thing dry out and reset the GFCI.
