Nepotism with Interns

I hate that I’m seriously considering this, but has anyone done an internship for someone to build a strategic relationship? A large supplier of ours in India reached out and mentioned his friend’s son was having a hard time finding a job. I was thinking of putting them on a project that we put on the back burner for 6 months (likely would take 3-4 months). Any experience shares?

I have no experience with this, but I think if you set clear expectations and have it be a legitimate internship and not just a pay to play situation it should be fine. I wouldn't disclose the personal connections to any other employees.
