Grid aspect ratio with text and image covering all spare space - css

Question

I am trying to get a grid of cards with a text and an image where the image cover all card spare space. But I can't get the text to show, the text is scrolled off the card which has an overflow: hidden. (https://jsfiddle.net/s8gxuza0/)
.grid {
display: grid;
grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fit, minmax(275px, 1fr));
gap: 24px;
}
.cell {
position: relative;
overflow: hidden;
border-radius: 6px;
padding-top: 100%;
background: red;
}
.link {
text-decoration: none;
color: inherit;
}
.content {
position: absolute;
top: 0px;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
.image {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
object-fit: cover;
}
.text {
padding: 16px;
}
<div class="grid">

I too tryed with display: flex and flex: 1 1 auto but i didn't get it to work either.
Something like this, but keeping the aspect ratio of the whole card (image + text = aspect-ratio 1/1):
For example, as a diagram:

AND THIS FINAL VERSION
.grid {
display: grid;
grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fit, minmax(275px, 1fr));
gap: 24px;
}
.cell {
position: relative;
overflow: hidden;
border-radius: 6px;
padding-top: 100%;
background: red;
}
.link {
text-decoration: none;
color: inherit;
}
.content {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
bottom: 0;
right: 0;
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
}
.image {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
background-size: cover;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center;
}
.text {
padding: 16px;
height: fit-content;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
