Canadian country-music star Shania Twain has been asked by the family of a missing New York woman to help in the search.
Rachael Mattice, 24, a home health care aide from Johnstown, N.Y., has been missing for a week after she drove to a remote campsite in the Adirondack Mountains. She was last seen on June 22, after she left her parents’ house.

Twain is Mattice’s idol, according to her family, and they contacted her in the hopes that she could bring more attention to the case.
“It’s not her nature to just take off,” said Mattice’ mother, Wendy, to FoxNews.com, adding that they communicated with each other multiple times a day. “She has no enemies. She’s a very loving person.”
The Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office provided this picture of Mattice.
Mattice recently moved to a camp in Wells, N.Y. to potentially work there. The campsite has no cellphone service, and is very sparsely populated. Mattice sent her mother a text message — her last-known communication — right before she headed to the actual campsite.
“She said, ‘I’m at the bottom of the hill. Goodnight and I love you,'” said Wendy Mattice.

Mattice’s father drove to the campsite and attempted to find his daughter, but his search was fruitless. The only clue in her disappearance is her silver Jeep, which was found at the camp.
Local authorities have launched an intensive search for Mattice using helicopters and dogs.
Her longtime friend, Cynthia Nellis, reached out to Twain on Instagram.
