.check() requires being passed the value of the checkbox input, not the text within the label input. The checkboxes on the application under test do not have any value attribute which is why it's unable to check the checkboxes.

This error is not very helpful in this regard however and should probably be better.

index.html

<html lang="en">
<body>
  <input type="checkbox" name="ff">
  <label for="ff">Family</label>
</body>
</html>

spec.js

  it('checkbox testing', function () {
    cy.visit('index.html')
    cy.get('input[type="checkbox"]')
    .check('Family')
  })
