First mate? (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eve

'first mate' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for eve that I've seen before include "She reportedly lived first" , "Day before; first woman" , "Lady first appearing" , "Day before a festival" , "Day before Christmas" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press and the Evening Standard.
