Sounds like a type of deadly nightshade...

Odds are strongly in favor of this being some sort of at least mildly
or potentially poisonous nightshade.
Like, say, this one:

Well... there are more possibilities than these options but you could
have deadly nightshade, black nightshade which is also known as deadly
nightshade.
...and I think it's a winnable bet that you have black nighshade.
As pretty as the plants are, I'd take this as a teachable moment if the
grandkids are old enough for it and show them the plant, fruit etc.
while you are working very hard and fast to get it all out "because it's
poison."
