Creep sending daughter back just now (5)
I believe the answer is:
today
'just now' is the definition.
(right now, on this day)
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
(Other definitions for today that I've seen before include "At the present time, in general" , "Modern times" , "Yesterday's tomorrow" , "The present time or age" , "one of our papers, once" .)
