pesterer
Relentless annoying presence
A pesterer is someone who pesters—who repeatedly bothers, annoys, or harasses another person with requests or interruptions.
The word carries a sense of persistence: a single interruption doesn't make someone a pesterer, but continued nagging does.
The kids were relentless pesterers until I agreed to take them to the park.
