Neighbour knocking door at all hours asking for help

There is a family that have recently moved in a few doors down.
English is not the native language and the family do not speak English very well.

A few times now the older lady has knocked on my door at around 10:30pm at night asking for help.
I did open the door and helped her with her phone issue.

Its like now it’s all the time, she will just come round in the day and night asking for help.

I have young children one of whom is a newborn and don’t want her to keep knocking on my door, especially at night.

She does this to the other neighbours as well.

DP has told me to just ignore the door now.
AIBU?

I would hate this, I would be so on edge. Just stop answering.

our 22 year old 6ft 5 son would answer

What if he wasn't in?
What about when he moves out?
What about those households with only 5 foot 8 male occupants?
What about all the householders that don't have any men at all, let alone one over 6 foot?

What a very narrow minded view.

It's mumsnet though where everyone has a son who is well over 6ft!

Also spotted the other MN bingo of "logging it with 101" on this thread too!
