+        Parameters:
+            redis_ (Any): An instance of a Redis client class
+                (e.g., redis.Redis) used for caching.
+                This allows the object to communicate with a
+                Redis server for caching operations.
+            ttl (int, optional): Time-to-live (TTL) for cached items in seconds.
+                If provided, it sets the time duration for how long cached
+                items will remain valid. If not provided, cached items will not
+                have an automatic expiration.
