An usherette is a woman whose job is to show people to their seats in a cinema or a theatre, take tickets, and often sell ice cream and snacks with a tray. The word belongs mostly to the past, especially British English of the 1930s to 1960s, when cinemas had staff walking the aisles with torches. You will meet it in old films, novels and stories from grandparents far more often than in life today. Two things to know about how it feels now. First, most modern speakers avoid the -ette ending for jobs, because marking a worker as female when the man's title would do the job is now seen as old-fashioned and a bit belittling; today both men and women are simply called an usher, or cinema staff. Second, because of that, using usherette about a woman working today can sound quaint or slightly rude, though it is not a strong insult. Read it, understand it, but reach for usher when you speak.
