Maybe I'm a drab local employee (7)

I believe the answer is:

barmaid

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

'local employee' is the definition.
'barmaid' can be an answer for 'employee' (barmaid is a kind of employee). I am not certain of the 'local' bit.

'maybe i'm a drab' is the wordplay.
'maybe' is an anagram indicator.
'im'+'a'+'drab'='imadrab'
'imadrab' with letters rearranged gives 'BARMAID'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for barmaid that I've seen before include "Pub worker" , "Pub employee" , "serving lady" , "Pub girl" , "She serves drinks" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
