I believe the answer is:

otis

(Other definitions for otis that I've seen before include "Miss -- Regrets, Cole Porter song" , "lift company" , "---- Redding, 1941-67, soul singer" , "Company providing lifts" , "Cole Porter's miss who was "unable to lunch today"" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
