Horror AI looks for player

Hey everybody, I am very interested in creating a horror game and its already looking good. I use NavMeshAgent for my AI if im near it follows me and if not it patrols around. But I have a question that I cannot answer. How is it possible to let the AI follow you to the room you get and if you're hiding in a closet or something that it looks for you in the room? Or if he saw you entering the closet that he throws you out like the game Monstrum. I had the idea that the navmesh follows you but if youre in a closet that it just patrols around but thats not actually what i want. Any tips pls?
