Is this ad on craigslist legit?

I'm supposed to be interviewing this person (in a public place of course) and my dad says it seems like its not legit. He told me that he seems like some kind of molester or something. I told him that I have to check it out before I make that decision. He hasn't said anything off the wall in any of his two emails. Here is his first email: "Goodmorning. My name is Vincent. This is a real position. Sending of a photo was optional, thank you for yours. I just wanted to put a face to all the resumes. It makes it more intimate and real when reading someones best attempt at respresenting themselves through words. I have recieved over a 450 applicants in 2 days. I actually feel that hiring someone is a bigger resposibility than I thought it was, what I mean is, giving the job to someone who really needs it and deserves it. I will be hiring someone this week. I go in for surgery on Monday and need an assistant by then so he/she can drive me home from the hospital. This is a hard working job, and I wouldn't be paying someone to just hang out with me. There are errands to run, cooking, shopping, cleaning , meetings, and research and so forth and so forth to be done every day. I would like to interview you within the next 2 days. Please let me know the best time. We could do coffee any time today or tomorow." The other email really didn't say much. But anyway, does it seem safe to you? How can I be really sure he's legit?
