Girl's accompaniment for airs? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

graces

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

'airs?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both human attributes as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'girl's accompaniment' is the wordplay.
'girl' becomes 'g'.
'accompaniment' becomes 'races' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'g'+'races'='GRACES'

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for graces that I've seen before include "SECOND PART OF 22" , "In Greek myth, three beautiful goddesses" , "(Three) sister goddesses famed for their beauty" , "Three sister goddesses who have the power to grant beauty, charm and happiness." , "In Greek myth, the three goddesses of beauty" .)
