I wonder how big a distraction she wants or needs. Whatever it is, she has to be able to detect it and know there's a disturbance. All she said is draw Vance away for a minute. Chances are, a loud noise alone is not going to be enough. Either Pint has to get caught -- which will absolutely distract Vance for at least a minute unless he decides to kill first and ask questions later -- or the distraction should be something a bit more extensive. While the name "The Kitchen Nightmare" sounds rather dramatic, that's probably ideal since it will require a bit more attention to deal with and likely will take time to get going, leading to plenty of time to escape. The disadvantage are that it won't look like an accident, and there's always the possibility Vance has staff that deal with the incident first.

So, assuming Pint is as good a cat burglar as his stat sheet indicates, my inclination is to do a quick survey of the nearby rooms -- emphasis on quick -- to find an alternative, with the kitchen as the current plan A. Mostly, I want to know how many people inhabit the tower.
