17 year old dating a 56 year old?!

This is a conversation between my aunt (black) and my mom (blue). My cousin, Chey, is only 17... the conversation continued with my mom asking her if she’s freaked out at all, and my aunt said if he had a history of dating young women than she would be, but he was married for a very long time and has been divorced for awhile without having dating anyone since. My thing is, what does a 56 year old man want with a 17 year old girl? And he is her BOSS. What’s yalls take? Would you let your 17 year old daughter date a 56 year old man?
