Description

In our GitHub actions workflow, there is a binary Ubuntu dependency installed (espeak) which is necessary to run the tests.

Right now, this is always installed in the CI when new code is pushed, and that's a bit slow. Use actions/cache to cache this dependency so that it doesn't need to be installed each time.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the current GitHub Actions workflow file, identify the step that installs espeak, and add a caching step using actions/cache to cache the apt package or binary. Ensure the cache key includes the package version to invalidate on updates.
