Except a lot af askers will put you in an uncomfortable spot. No I don't want you and your family staying at my house while you are in town.

Discomfort is present only if you suspect they're a Guesser and thus one of you has greatly misjudged the relationship and social context.

If you know or suspect they're an Asker the discomfort disappears because you say "No" and they say "OK, cool".

Then just say, “No, that won’t work out for us.” Done.
