- gel- = stem: "come"
- gelmek = infinitive: "to come"
- gelme = participle: "(an act of) coming"
- gelmesi = the same, with a possessive ending -si: "her (act of) coming"
- gelmesini = the same, with accusative ending -i (and buffer consonant -n- before it): "her (act) of coming (in accusative)"
Remember that if you have a noun with a third person singular possessive ending (-i or -si), you add a buffer consonant -n- before most case endings.
So "gelmesini" is "gel-me-si-n-i".

So, is the accusative suffix mandatory? In other words, does sevmek always take an object in accusative case?

In this case as there is no word between the two verbs why can one not say "Annem gelmek isityorum?
