Instead of having Gatinha supervise, why not give her the paint and brushes and have her do the job herself?
Well, what's done is done. If I were you, I would:
1) Give Gatinha a stern lecture on the importance of following instructions (yours, that is)
2) Go over with her what to do if the workman is being a dick
3) Do everything you can to ruin this guy
