Family members like housing free (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aunties

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

'like housing free' is the wordplay.
'like' becomes 'as'.
'housing' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'free' becomes 'untie' (I've seen this in another clue).
'as' placed around 'untie' is 'AUNTIES'.

(Other definitions for aunties that I've seen before include "Female relations" , "Females relations" , "Female relatives" , "Older female friends" , "family members" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
