解答

意味：
英辞郎には、この単語は掲載されていなくて、Weblioによると、

バーのホステス

確かに、この訳は間違っていませんが、問題文の場合は違います。（もっとも、多くのオンライン英英辞典でもまだこの古い定義しかありません。）
下記英語の定義を訳すと、


ヒップホップ文化の生き方やスタイルを好む女性
しばしば、ブレーキダンスをする女性。

になります。
なお、英語の二つ目の定義が上記Weblioの定義と同じです。  

Answer

According to :

1. a girl or woman who adopts the pursuits or styles of hip-hop culture
   often: a girl or woman who is a breakdancer
2. a woman who entertains bar patrons and encourages them to spend freely
