How do I tell the creepy guy who only speaks Spanish to leave me alone?
I live in a townhouse owned by a perfectly safe woman (so I'm not necessarily scared for my safety). I rent the bedroom upstairs and a man who doesn't speak any English (only speaks Spanish) lives in the basement. We avoid each other mostly.
Well the woman who owns the house is away on vacation and yesterday, I was eating lunch when the man came upstairs and started talking to me. I thought whatever, he'll probably go back downstairs in a minute. Nope... he started patting me on the head and telling me I was "muy bonita." I know what that means so I thanked him. Then he started pointing to his middle finger and saying all this stuff I didn't understand. And then he started... ugh I feel uncomfortable even saying this, sort of miming something very sexual and was pointing downstairs. He periodically put his hand on my head and cheek. I was trying to tell him I was busy but he did NOT get the hint. Eventually he figured out he wasn't going to get anything from me and went back downstairs.
Aaaaaand now I don't feel safe at home. Talk about creepy! The man is at least 25 years older than me! I've already told the homeowner so she knows what happened but in the meantime, I want to write him a note that tells him that it was NOT okay that he did that. Basically tell him I was uncomfortable with him touching me and that I want him to leave me alone. The problem is that I don't speak Spanish and Google translate is a joke.
I guess this is a too part question. First of all, what should I do in this situation in the first place? Can anyone give me a better suggestion? And for those who are bilingual, would you mind writing a short note for me in Spanish that basically tells him what I said above?
Thanks!!
Update:First of all *two, not too. Good lord, I'm usually very good about using proper grammar!
Second, I realize I contradicted myself up there. I feel safe when the woman is home because she knows more English than I do and is a force to be reckoned with when angry! However, I don't feel safe now that she's gone and she won't be back for a few more days.

Maybe you can write señor primero que nada no me gusto que me tocara. Debe de respetarme que se cree quien es. dejeme empas Tengo novio y usted no me agrada. Si me Vuelve a molestar le llamare a la policia porque no me siento segura con usted aqui haciendo senales inapropias. Enverdad necesita alejarse me Siento muy incomoda y no estoy interesada en ningun tipo de relation con Usted..... Is basically saying to leave you alone that u felt uncomfortable around him and his inappropriate behavior around you and I put that u have a bf novio this can and that u will call the police if he ever touches u or makes u feel not safe this probably will let him know your serious...and at last I put ur not interesting in any type of relationship with him so he needs to back off :) hope this help cuz he should be doing what he did to u like any sexual gestures or patting your head or grabbing your cheeks if his a total stranger
Say...policia
Dejame joto voy a chinga tu pinche madre way ya dejame tell him that
"Que me deja solo" ("leave me alone!")
"No me moleste" (which DOESN'T mean "don't molest me", but rather "don't bother me")
"Si continue, voy a llamar la policia" ("if you keep on, I'm going to call the police")
Ignore him, never sustain any attempt by him to talk to you.
