I believe the answer is:

theodora

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

'she' is the definition.

'boy to a girl' is the wordplay.
'boy' becomes 'theo' ().
'to a girl' becomes 'dora' (girl's name).
'theo'+'dora'='THEODORA'

'introduces a' acts as a link.
This may not be right. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for theodora that I've seen before include "Oratorio by Handel" , "Lady" , "Byzantine empress" , "gift from God" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
