[QUESTION] [NEWBIE] Swapping from accoustic to electric, which guitar below $400 would be best for fingerstyle/folk

I have picked up playing accoustic guitar during the pandemic and I love it. Currently own a begginer's Yamaha F310, and it's a little too big for me but I still manage with my tiny hands. In the future, I would like to swap to a GS Mini or other travel/parlour guitar.

Anyway, back to the issue...  in the meantime I gave birth to a tiny little human who wakes up in the evenings whenever I play, so I need to swap to something way quieter. I have ordered the new Fender Mustang Micro Headphone Amp, and now I am looking for a guitar below 400$ to go along with it. On my accoustic, I dabbled mostly in fingerstyle and folk. Would love a guitar that fits this style and is more on the feminine side when it comes to looks. Love the way the Yamaha Pacifica 311H in Vintage White looks, and am considering it, but have no idea about the coils, what is the difference between single and humbucker, what the different types of guitars do, etc.

I have never considered playing electric, but the situation is as it is... Any advice?
