Is it awkward if I tell someone that the reason they remember me is that we matched on tinder?

So weird situation. I'm a contractor that does work at a lot of commercial kitchens. A few days ago I was repairing a piece of equipment at a local resturant where I work fairly often and one of the new employees there called me out by name and said she recognized me from somewhere but couldn't remember where. I didn't recognize her at all. We chatted for a bit while I was working and neither one of us could figure out how she recognized me. I was back a day later to replace a part on something and she said she still couldn't figure it out and of course I still had no clue.
Well, earlier today it suddenly dawned on me. We matched on tinder like 5 years ago. Back then we chatted for a couple weeks but it never really went anywhere beyond casual chatting. I kind of get the feeling that neither of us was in a great head space at the time so things just dropped off.
Well, I'm going back there on Tuesday to finish up the repair. Should I tell her why she recognizes me or would that be inapropriate considering we are both working? The last thing I want is to make someone feel uncomfortable and trapped.
Just wait until after you finish the repair job. Finalize all the paperwork or whatever, then furrow your brows a bit, snap your fingers and go aha. If all you're concerned about is not leaving her wondering, that's should be fine, especially since you'd be leaving right after, so no pressure on her or anything.
Probably the best bet, I don't want to make her even more uncomfortable considering she also just started there.
Good man. If possible also avoid bringing it up when her coworkers are near enough to hear it.
Yup. Plus, chances are she remembers it, but is curious to see if you remember it too.
This, but do your best Columbo impression while doing it.
