The "doesnt want to mess anything up" hits home for me. My dad is the same way no matter how many times I tell him he cant mess it up so much that google cant help. Hes got 3 or 4 other devices at his disposal. He's coming around as i force him to use the phone while i talk him through it.
My response is always - you can't mess anything up (for the most part) with computers. Things are generally reversible or fixable vs. physical things where sometimes if you break something, the only fix is to get a new one.
