Crossword Genius

The agent is from here, Miss Aryan (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

emissary

'the agent' is the definition.
(an emissary is an agent or representative)

'from here miss aryan' is the wordplay.
'from' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'EMISSARY' is hidden within 'here miss aryan'.

'is' is the link.

(Other definitions for emissary that I've seen before include "Messenger, envoy" , "Representative on special mission" , "Person sent to negotiate" , "one dispatched officially" , "Legate" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
