He leads us to her (5)

I believe the answer is:

usher

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'he leads' is the definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.

'us to her' is the wordplay.
'us'+'her'='USHER'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for usher that I've seen before include "Doorkeeper; shower to seat" , "Helper at wedding" , "Theatre attendant" , "Doorkeeper in parliament or 29 down" , "Theatre guide" .)

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