Young ladies taken in by prodigal son (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gals

'young ladies' is the definition.
('gal' can be a synonym of 'young lady')

'taken in by prodigal son' is the wordplay.
'taken in by' indicates a hidden word.
'GALS' is hidden within 'prodigal son'.

(Another definition for gals that I've seen is " Sloanes, say".)
