Espérame, por favor. I don´t understand, why the accent put on é, the original word is esperar, the emphasis is on a,why not esperárme, ?
¿Debemos esperarte aquí? Why here it´s esperarte, without accent?

Because the word finishes with a vowel it is grave, ie stress on the second to last syllable - es-PER-a
then when you add the pronoun you want to keep the same stress on the original word espera (not including the pronoun - if you didn't add an accent you would have to still stress the second to last syllable changing the sound to es-per-A-me so you put the accent on the é - and keep the original sound es-PER-a-me
