She may seem alien to me (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

melanie

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

'she' is the definition.

'seem alien to me' is the wordplay.
'seem alien' becomes 'lanie' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'to' says to put letters next to each other (I've seen this in other clues).
'lanie' after 'me' is 'MELANIE'.

'may' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for melanie that I've seen is " Girl".)
