To "get someone" here goes along with the expression "get someone to do something (for you)". This expression means to find someone to do something or make someone else do something for you so you don't have to. Ex: I need to get a tall person to reach that for me. Ex: She didn't want to write the essay so she got a friend to do it for her.
