I believe the answer is:

chaperone

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

'guard' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'in the end eva peron's accepted by revolutionary' is the wordplay.
'in the end' indicates one should take the final letters.
'accepted by' indicates putting letters inside (inserted letters are accepted).
'revolutionary' becomes 'Che' (Che Guevara the Marxist revolutionary).
The final letter of 'eva' is 'a'.
'a'+'peron'='aperon'
'aperon' inserted into 'che' is 'CHAPERONE'.
