Relative in this island (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sis

'relative' is the definition.
(short for sister)

'in this island' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'SIS' is hidden in the letters of 'this island'.

(Other definitions for sis that I've seen before include "Family member (informal)" , "Girl" , "Secret Intelligence Service (abbreviation)" , "Secret Intelligence Service (abbr.)" , "Sibling (informal)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
