She contributes to the harvest annually (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

vesta

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

'she' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'contributes to the harvest annually' is the wordplay.
'contributes to' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (I've seen 'contributing to' mean this (the answer contributes to part of the clue )).
'VESTA' can be found hidden inside 'harvest annually'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for vesta that I've seen before include "Roman goddess; match" , "Hearth goddess; a match" , "Asteroid; goddess; match" , "Roman goddess of the hearth" , "Stave (anag.)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
