By disabling automatic Wi-Fi connections, Mariella can ensure that her phone does not automatically connect to any network without her explicit consent. This will prevent her phone from connecting to the attacker's network again in the future. Deleting the coffee shop's Wi-Fi from her saved networks may not solve the issue if the attacker sets up a new fake network. Using cellular signal instead of Wi-Fi may be an option, but it may not be feasible if the location has poor cellular coverage or if using cellular data is expensive. Avoiding confidential information on her phone is a good practice, but may not prevent her phone from being compromised by attackers.
