Ethnography Question- Sicily and the Caucasus

Hey /his/, I'm curious to see if any of you have an answer here. Maybe it'll be a fun game. Recently my sister and my mother took genetic tests; the results were mostly unsurprising. But something in my sister's (and therefore, my) blood caught my eye: 11% of our ancestry was traced to the Caucasus. Defined on the program as including Armenia, Georgia, Azerbaijan, the easternmost parts of Turkey, and the north Caucasus republics in Russia.
My mom's test on the other hand showed no Caucasus descent whatsoever. Therefore, logically that 11% must have come from our dad. His parents were both born in Sicily; his grandparents were Italian citizens who came to the USA shortly after WW2. Somehow, my dad ended up a quarter Caucasian somewhere along the line. I can't trace my family any further back than my great grandparents, and all I know about them is that they lived in Sicily and had Italian names.
Does /his/ have an answer for why this could be? Was there any significant migration from the Caucasus to Sicily? If so from what groups?
Thanks for any info.

Genetic tests taken long ago show that my sister and I are related to both our parents, something that is also clear just by comparing faces (I have cousins on both sides who look nigh identical to md as well), so no.

Did they come from the left part of the island?

Southern Italy had alot of influx from the Christian Near East do to historical and geographic reasons. This is where it comes from.
I'm Calabrese and have 15% West Asian DNA. 8% from Anatolia and the Levant, 7% from the Caucasus.

The origin of the people who inhabitated the island, especially the western part, before the Greeks are unclear

My own personal ancestors came from Anatolia some time during the era of the Byzantine Empire. I can't speak for anyone else.

So how does that involve the Caucasus?

Protip: if you did 23andme test then that's a literal Jewish scam intented to collect genetic data of random retards and the results you read are made up.
