That's been there for ages. Perhaps since last Halloween, not sure now.
I think it has been introduced with the candy monster event and it remained since then in my main town. I haven't updated my new town, yet, and the option is not there.
There is this topic from February. I didn't notice it before that post but checked in February and had it.

Coming from the candy monster event is a good theory.

Yes, I just got the candy monster event for the first time and did not have this option before the 2016 event.

That must be it, I didn't do the candy event last year that's why it wasn't in my game until now.

Maybe the "scare" option comes after completion of the candy monster event? I noticed it only recently. I finished the candy monster event, which picked up from where I'd left off last year at 75%.

Yes because I did not have the option before the event too.

Ah, okay. Yeah, I've failed to complete it 2 years in a row. Maybe next year :)

Hopefully it's a glitch and isn't intentional and that FM will fix it.
A german android player reported she could not restore the new Rainbow Gem Harvester in her second game :(

Ugh, this is disappointing. :( Do you suppose this is a change that affects all online purchases made on this update? I was able to restore the summer Lovin clothes and some others purchased on past updates to my seniors game but not the latest dresses.

At their article SFP Online Store & In-App Purchase FAQ is still mentioned:
Q: What can I do if I have purchased Simoleons or Lifestyle Points and want to reset my game?
A: Unfortunately, consumable purchases such as Simoleons and Lifestyle Points will not be able to be retrieved after resetting your game.

However, item packs that have been purchased on the store are able to be downloaded again for free, or restored using the "Restore Purchases" button available in the Info section of the app:
So I'm still hoping, it's a bug.
