Family "friend" tried to break in my house?

Ok, so I was in my house and someone calls. I didn't know the number so I didn't answer. They left a voicemail, I checked, and it was this woman from a church I go to. This lady wanted to come by my house to drop something off. I didn't want to see her because she's very pushy and rude( I know I'm being rude by ignoring her). So she knocks on my door and I don't answer. I look through the peephole to see when she leaves and I heard her moving the doorknob. Then I hear her put something in the keyhole!! When that didn't work she went to my back door and tried to open that! Finally, after 10 mins. she leaves. I'm creeped out and call my brother...he gets angry at her and says he'll call the cops, I don't want him to!!! So I said I'll call and tell her. But he is telling me to call her husband instead and lie. The lie he told me to tell is "Hi, I just got home and my neighbors came to my door and told me that a woman was here earlier and seemed like she was breaking in my house. They told me what kind of car she drove and described what she looked like...and judging by that and the phone call she made...I'm pretty sure it was your wife." But I feel like lying is bad....but he says I should do that...but my friend says I should tell the truth and say I didn't answer b/c I'm uncomfortable around you...and when you tried opening my door, it scared me. But I also don't want to tell the truth...I just don't want to say anything....but if I don't...my brother is going to file a report against her -_- I don't want that...

What would you do?!?!?!

Update:

Well I don't find her nice...she's VERY pushy(which is why I didn't want to see her) but I don't want to file a report because her husband has done a lot for my family...I know that's a bad argument :/

Update 2:

I don't live with my parents, my brother is my guardian...but he's on his way home from New York. He won't be back until 8pm >.<

    she sounds like someone i know. this person would try to cover it up by saying that she just wanted to leave something inside so it would not be out in the weather. but in reality she would just like to snoop.

    what she tried was like home invasion and burglary . this is very wrong. take a deep breath and call her , tell her you did not want any company because you needed some space from everyone at that moment. so you did not answerer the door. tell her you did not appreciate her trying to invade your home and your privacy. you do not have to be ugly about it, just point blank. lieing wont help. she will lie in return to save face.

    tell her that if she tries that again you will call the cops and press charges . then hang up. you can not just let some one walk on your rights that way, a church goer or not. if you cant bring yourself to do this then let your brother do it for you, and tell her you are too trumatized to even call her. the let him warn her that the police will be noteified if she comes near your home again.

    i had some one like this try to shove have rotted produce on me, i refused her kind offer and she came anyway and put the garbage inside my small trailer. i had to kill flies and maggots for weeks and had to pay to bring the stuff to the dump.

    pushy people will keep on pushing other people around till you put your hand up and say enough. doing this is not rude or a bad thing. it is not unkind. it is just protecting yourself against abuse under the guise of frindship or charity. think about it. i have something for you, so now i have the right to abuse your rights to privacy, dosent make sense dose it? make that call or let your brother do his thing.

    File the report. Just because the woman goes to church does not make her a nice person. File a restraining order if you have to then go to a different church. People like her will steal from you, guilt trip you into things or push you into doing things you don't want to do. I've been around lots of church people in the past and had a bad experience myself. A friend who went to my church offered to fix the brakes on my vehicle and all I had to do was pay for the parts. His wife found out he didn't charge me anything and hit the roof. He lied to her saying I refused to pay him and he got his nephew go come and beat me up. WTF I did offer to pay him. He told everyone at the church I refused to pay him and they believed him. Some people are just bad no matter where they are.

    I would not lie about it. Also it is not rude to not want to answer your phone. You have a right to your privacy. I would probably talk to your pastor without naming names, tell him how creeped out you feel and ask for his advice. Do not let anyone make you feel bad either for wanting to be left alone on that day. Keep in mind you have done nothing wrong but she has.

    Do what your brother said to. He seems to care about you and you should listen to him. Call the cops, this lady is breaking the law.
