Yes, the English word "miss" was used, but I understand that mademoiselle has basically been stricken from the language unless one is strictly speaking to a very young girl. Are we to assume that is the implication here?
Why mademoiselle vs madame ?

Bonjour William,
This is a very interesting question! In French, the word "mademoiselle" has been removed from administrative forms. However, in everyday life, it is very common to hear people use it. Therefore, it is absolutely fine to use it in a dialogue in French whether it is written or spoken.
Take a look at the article I found below:
Radio France - "Mademoiselle" fait de la résistance
I hope this is helpful.
Bonne journée !
