Girl seen in vest here (6)

I believe the answer is:

esther

'girl' is the definition.

'in vest here' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'ESTHER' is hidden within 'vest here'.

'seen' is the link.

(Other definitions for esther that I've seen before include "religious book" , "Biblical heroine who became queen of Persia" , "Holy Book" , "Old Testament book telling of a beautiful Jewess" , "Oratorio by Handel; girl's name" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
