Well, firstly, in this context, "cover" means to conceal or protect a person, identity, plan, or something else by disguising or masking it as something else. So the "perfect cover" is a cover or concealment that disguises and averts from the truth perfectly. Ex: I told my parents that I'm sleeping over at a friend's house, but I'm actually going on a road trip. It's the perfect cover. Ex: Tell Kim that we're going ice skating. That'll be the perfect cover for her surprise party. Ex: It's the perfect cover If you say that you work at the cafe across the street.
