Is foil going to be a very good permanent solution? I would advise that you send it to a guitar guy for a once over. I'm surprised that adding somethig to the first fret would make it better, I was expecting that the first fret would be too big, rather than too small. Send it to a guitar guy. Get it fixed.

Oh, no, of course, the first fret would be too small so that the string is also touching the second fret. Possibly it's the second fret that's been set badly, can you see any fret obviously higher or lower than the ones around them?
