No advice on wallets. Probably something easy, even custodial if need be to get started. With an offer to help when the person is ready to go the next step to hold their own keys.
Very skeptical of government
Given this in particular, I'd recommend something from Andreas Antonopoulos.
Take a look through some of his introduction to bitcoin videos and pick one that is closest to the level of detail you'd think the person would enjoy. Like this, or this one.
If those are too dry/boring, then maybe a video going more into why it is useful if you're skeptical of government control of money. Like this one called Currency Wars II, one of my personal all-time favorites.
And finally, I'd give some advice on how and where to use it. Think btcmap, bitrefill, and whatever else is relevant and works in their location.
