Hi, I think your spider was a female Steatoda grossa, a “false black widow”. They’re fairly common, we don’t see them because they avoid light most of the time. They seem to like pantries and kitchens. They can get water droplets and bits of food and darkness in spots like cabinets and cupboards. I have a widow spider living under my refrigerator.
