I would rather have any random strangers from Walmart or the gas station stay in my house and supervisor than a family member.

Yeah - this story was all routine unyil the "twisted unhygenic habits" came into play. You are clearly not comfortable having this person in your space, and you clearly have a valid reason for feeling that way. Your family, members and friends don't have any business pressuring you about this because it's not their refrigerator that's gonna get messed with… This person can wait at the airport, wait at Walmart… Go to the mall… Whatever… This is not your problem if you are not comfortable, then having this person in your space, causing you a lot of worry and stress, and this should not be happening.
