Crossword Genius

Daughter perhaps is telling stories (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

relation

This clue is a double definition.

'daughter perhaps' is the first definition.
(I know that daughter is a kinship)

'telling stories' is the second definition.
(telling or relating stories)

'is' is the link.

(Other definitions for relation that I've seen before include "Person related by blood or marriage" , "Link" , "Grandchild, perhaps" , "Reference" , "report" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
