Caching a string for 24 hours

I am trying to cache a string in my .net mvc application for 24 hours. I am having trouble finding a way to get the cache to expire. Currently I set the cache using

System.Runtime.Caching.MemoryCache.Default["activeKey"] = "success";

I use the cache by calling

var activeKey = System.Runtime.Caching.MemoryCache.Default["activeKey"];
if (activeKey != null && (string) activeKey == "success")
{
    return true;
}

However, I am unsure where to go from here as far as cache. I found docs for sliding and absolute cache, but am unsure exactly what to do.

The Add or AddOrGetExisting methods are the best you can get. They both have an argument to set the expiration (absoluteExpiration).

System.Runtime.Caching.MemoryCache.Default.Add(
    "activeKey",
    "success",
    new DateTimeOffset(DateTime.Now.AddDays(1))
)
