How the clue works
The definition is demands. Popular gives you IN, then sibling is SISTER, but without hesitation means you drop the ER (hesitation, as in "um/er"), leaving you SIST. Stick IN at the front for INSIST, then beginning to suggest gives you the first letter S, and there's your seven letters.
