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

'maybe miss' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'each mail that's gone astray' is the wordplay.
'that's gone astray' indicates an anagram (I've seen this in other clues).
'each'+'mail'='eachmail'
'eachmail' anagrammed gives 'MICHAELA'.

Can you help me to learn more?
