Abasio, do you not think that kimi would be apropriate for this case? I can see omae being good to use...that is closer than kimi, right? I sometimes get things like that fliped around, like it took me forever to realize sumimasen is more appropriate to say to a teacher than gomen nasai.
"kimi" is basically use among men/boys. "omae" is basically use to a person you consider the status to be below you. So as much as possible refrain from using that one, unless you are very very close to the person already.

Use proper name always, to be on the safer side.
