Men being friends with young girls is tricky for obvious reasons (which is a shame), but handled correctly i think most people would go into it thinking of it as friendship and nothing more.
You'd have to be looking for something sinnister in the first place to read it as such and as said above anyone desperate enough will find a way to pervert it.
It is a delicate subject. It's something i think you have to build on slowly. You almost have to spell out their relationship from the very start and keep it out in the open (behind closed doors might be weird to start) and develop it so that later on physical contact (eg. A friendly hug o handhold) is read as friendship and nothing more. If you write it as fatherly figure to young girl i think most people will read it that way.
