Because Aida was kidnapped off the shores of the Nile by Radames, who fell in love with her as soon as he laid eyes on her. Which in turn, he wanted to save her from the copper mines, and his excuse was that he wanted to give Amneris (The Pharaoh's daughter) a gift from his expedition. And that is why she was Amneris's handmaiden.
