I used to think Esma was the hardest one to deal with nonlethally, but my last playthrough made me reassess that; she's actually the easiest of all of them. You get the clues to figure which one is which and you talk to her, right? You talk to her and you tell her someone's there to kill her, but she thinks you're trying a kinky come-on, at which point you either try to back off or tell her to meet you in the cellar. Trying to back off gets you invited up to the bedroom, but for shits and giggles I told her to meet me in the cellar, just to see how she'd react. To my surprise, she agreed and walked right to the cellar, where she was promptly rendered unconscious and delivered to Brisby. Mission accomplished.

A bit counter-inuitive, perhaps (it was for me), but it really is that simple.
