Her oar is not in the water.
In the interview she is smitten with him, naturally. He is an old man who understands the human mind and how to manipulate others mentally and emotionally to attain a desired end. He has an agenda. Who knows what but I would place odds that his does. Funnily enough his agenda will be his weak link but she is too young and inexperienced at life to understand that process.
Perhaps she too has an agenda and if she does, unless her IQ is over the top he will know her agenda and once a person knows that, the chances of beating them are slim. My bets would be on him as the winner in a contest of wits and outcomes.
She is most likely the victim here and he will have chosen her very carefully.
