Certain parent overseeing a child’s career, in showbiz lingo

Answer:

MOMAGER

Hint:

Not available

Explanation:

This clue plays on the showbiz term "momager," a blend of "mom" and "manager," referring to a mother who manages her child’s career—think Kris Jenner or Dolly Parton’s mom. The word "certain" hints it’s a specific type of parent, while "overseeing a child’s career" points to the managerial role. The phrase "in showbiz lingo" signals it’s an informal industry term, not a formal job title.
