Bottom line is that if there is indeed no neutral in the box, which
based on the original description, there isn't, the GFCI is not going
to work properly. He'll need to source power from someplace - perhaps
the vanity light, perhaps the fan - and pull a length of Romex from
there - assuming there's (legal) room in one of those fixture boxes
for another set of connections.

Correction -- *he* doesn't need to do that, the *electrician he hires* will need to do that.

He doesn't understand enough about electricity to do this, or any other wiring project, safely.


remember who this is posted as. he is not known for following advice,
nor for not doing something that one would not normally do.
