Just tell the player "no," again; you are allowed to do that as DM
There are a number of reasons for this.

Ask the player "why?"
First step to solving these types of issues is asking why they want a thing. If the character wants to be invisible all the time just for the sake of that, just say no. If they like the idea of being able to attack from being hidden or that type of thing then you can help them out.

Do-able
Some of this is possible, and your DM wil probably grant most requests:
Backstory details are entirely fine in 5th edition.

One thought, allow them to be invisible, but at a low level they have not ability to interact with the world around them while invisible. For instance, they can walk though doors and walls,but cannot open doors. They can view everything around them, but cannot pick up things.
This forces them to come out of invisibility then once fully visible (whole) they ...
