Turning on a wet machine can cause more damage and increase the cost of repair. ⚠️
Based on your situation, I recommend service.

As we have no idea how wet it got I'd wait at least a week or two with good air circulation around it. However don't plug it in, just see if it'll turn on. Don't be surprised however if there are issues with your mac as water and electronics do not mix well together. Better yet to avoid electrical shock potential you could have it examined at an Apple Store or an Apple Authorized Service Provider near you.

Still don't take the risk of plugging in until you have got it properly checked as the advice above. Water and electronics are not good friends and the water will not take prisoners.
