Crossword Genius

A girl goes inside to get help (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ethel

'a girl' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'inside to get help' is the wordplay.
'inside' indicates a hidden word.
'ETHEL' is hidden in the letters of 'to get help'.

'goes' is the link.

(Other definitions for ethel that I've seen before include "girl" , "Dame --- Smyth; William Brown's sister" , "Perhaps a Barrymore" , "Lethe (anag) -- Barrymore or Merman" , "Dame - Smyth, Eng. composer, suffragette" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
