Sorry, no. If you share an iCloud storage plan it is shared with everyone in your Family Sharing. Everyone who currently has a free 5GB plan is automatically added when you share; any that have their own upgraded storage plan will be given the option to join the shared plan or keep their own.


See the following from Share iCloud+ with your family - Apple Support


When you share iCloud+, any family members using the free 5GB plan are added to your family plan automatically.

If a family member is already paying for their own iCloud+ plan, they can choose to switch to your plan or keep their own and still remain part of the family. When they switch to the shared family plan, they get a refund for the remainder of their personal plan. They can't keep their current plan and use the shared family plan at the same time.
