American pension manager ignoring call for attention in studio (7)
I believe the answer is:
atelier
'studio' is the definition.
(atelier is a kind of studio)
'american pension manager ignoring call for attention' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'american' could be 'a' (common abbreviation - e.g. in organisation names) and 'a' is found within the answer.
'call' could be 'tel' (short for telephone) and 'tel' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'ier' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
