Spooner’s at hand with question at present (4,3,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

here and now

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

'present' is the definition.
(here and now is a kind of present)

'spooner's at hand with question' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'at' could be 'her' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'her' is located in the answer.
'with' could be 'and' and 'and' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'enow' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

'at' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for here and now that I've seen before include "on the spot" , "At this time" , "present" .)
