Each tale revised to feature home and housekeeper (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chatelaine

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'housekeeper' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'each tale revised to feature home' is the wordplay.
'revised' indicates an anagram.
'to feature' is an insertion indicator.
'home' becomes 'in' ('he's home' can mean 'he's in').
'each'+'tale'='eachtale'
'eachtale' anagrammed gives 'chatelae'.
'chatelae' placed around 'in' is 'CHATELAINE'.

'and' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for chatelaine that I've seen before include "Woman in charge of a large house" , "one looking after a big house" , "French mistress" , "Mistress of the house" , "Castle keeper" .)
