I will have to disagree with OP and some of the commentators.
If your family member is asking a favor, especially a favor that does not cost you, consider it a gift and an opportunity to connect with the person.
Take a leap of faith and trust the person.
You may not know, but a generation ago such things were completely normal.
A Few generations ago it was normal to offer a night stay to strangers.

OP connecting with the family member:
“So what’s this I hear about you sticking your dick in people’s food?”

No way, they are actually asking, would you do something that makes you uncomfortable so that this relative whom you don’t know very well can be more comfortable. I mean, we could all chip in and get him a hotel but then that would require something from us. We want you to take this on alone. Many people think that we should do unreasonable things for “family”. Unreasonable for anyone is still unreasonable. They should never have put OP in that position. Asking for an unreasonable favor is their bad. OP saying no is reasonable. Why can’t this guy stay in a hotel or the airport like other travelers do all the time?
