This is a pretty wacky one, I’ve never seen a clue like this in my 20 odd years of cryptics
Now the day is over, my issue was that both the clue and the answer both ended in -ess, which is a bit lazy. You'd expect that if the clue was indicating a female suffix like -ess, it would use a different feminine ending, like -ette or -euse.

V straightforward one, slight issue with the clue, but won’t give spoilers.
