Mealy bug on my new Monstera SOS

Just picked up this cutie from my local nursery yesterday. I inspected her and realized she has yellowing leaves so I looked closer and there’s a mealy bug. I’m a new parent so what do I do?! I put her in the bathroom to quarantine while I figure out next steps. SOS!

(She gets plenty of indirect light but a southeast facing window. I got her yesterday so haven’t figured out her watering schedule yet. Up for all the advice. Especially since I see a curling leaves. She’s in the potting mix the nursery put her in.)
