Just be honest with the elder. You can tell him in a nice way and tell him you appreciate his concern. But, you need some time to yourself and are not ready to talk. And that it would probably be easier if we call you when and if we are ready to talk. Thank him and tell him to have a nice day and close the door.

Actually the less you say the better. Don't feel you need to make up excuses.

Well, then,just ask him to please leave you and your family alone.

A little tough love here.
If you've tried everything else, then at some point you need to develop the courage to look them in the eye and say "no".
Come up with a phrase like, "Thank you, but I really don't want to talk."
Whatever they say or ask, keep smiling and repeating that phrase until they go away and don't return.
If they DEMAND that you let them in and talk to them... if they threaten to DF you, smile and say, "Thank you, but I really don't want to talk."
If they say, "When would be a better time?" say, "Thank you, but I really don't want to talk."
If you won't stand up for yourself and assert your freedom as a human being, we can't do it for you.
