How do they access the NAS? ReadyCloud or some other way?
What you can get from cacti is the flow by IP address, which should let you distinguish your parents and girlfriend's traffic. That doesn't require knowing what traffic for each service/app.

You can of course also temporarily block their access and see if your network speeds improve.
