Herald and guide at home (5,2)

I believe the answer is:

usher in

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

'guide at home' is the wordplay.
'guide' becomes 'usher' (an usher guides people).
'at home' becomes 'in' ('I'm in' can mean 'I'm at home').
'usher'+'in'='USHER IN'

'and' acts as a link.

(Another definition for usher in that I've seen is " Introduce".)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
