'charm' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'daily one's old lady' is the wordplay.
'daily' becomes 'char' (both can mean a cleaner).
'one's' becomes 'i's' (Roman numeral).
'old lady' becomes 'ma' (both can mean mother).
'char'+'is'+'ma'='CHARISMA'

'exudes' is the link.
This may not be right. It may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for charisma that I've seen before include "Compelling attractiveness" , "powerful influence" , "quality inspiring devotion" , "special personal quality" , "Compelling charm" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Telegraph.
