4-Star Grid
Lamb kin EWE [note two words]
Foot massage expert? POET [that’s poetical feet]
Chocolate companion? LAB [kind of dog]

Need to know music for this one: ADUE & STRETTO, and tougher yet is that STRETTO abuts ASTROLAT!
And just to make it interesting, we had to know EVAS were space walks; ACADIA was a French division 300 years ago; and ECOTONE is an eco zone.

Plus I’m not sure about
PARC.
Yet the puzzle was fun, especially the three highlighted entries.
