I really think Alice is the only option.

People thought Tilly playing chess with Rogers meant it was "too obvious" for her to be his daughter - but as we saw, that wasn't the case and it was indeed an obvious sign. So I do think the fact that Rumple literally ran into Alice was probably a legit sign as well and the writers knew fans would overthink it. And she's the one closest to him this season. (Other than maybe Rogers, but Rumple doesn't have an ongoing plotline with him like he does with Alice in the EF *and* HH)

Anastasia is the one they're presenting as the top candidate as of 7x10, but the fact that there's still like an entire half to go before the Guardian storyline culminates? I would rule her out.

So unless Rumple suddenly starts spending a lot of time with another main character in 7B, I think the signs are there for it to be Alice.
