I am at a loss to find a way to use Nested Style for this — it's very specifically a GREP operation to find the quotes and apply a Character Style. Nested styles apply only to a defined string of text with no (obvious) way to apply it only to two characters.

Does your client have a reason for making this request? When the perfectly straightforward GREP solution is at hand?
