This clue could be a double definition.

'does one' is the first definition.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lessee that I've seen before include "One who rents" , "Tenant with a contract" , "Tenant who holds a lease" , "Person who holds building on contract for specified time" , "Contractor" .)
