What does "mean to" mean here? I thought "mean to" means "fate", "destiny," but that doesn't make sense in this sentence :(

To "mean to" in this context means to intend to do something or have a purpose to do something. So in this case, they mean that she "intended" to get a hooker. Here's a couple examples of "mean to" in this context: Ex: Did you mean to call me? Ex: I didn't mean to hurt your feelings, I was just being honest.
